Congratulations Are In Order

To my friend who left me in the lurch and who left me alone to crawl
To my friend who burned me at the stake and grinned as she watched my body fall

For my friend who threw poison darts in my back and responded with a shocked "gasp!!"
For my friend who heard them all talk and responded with a full hearty laugh

My dear friend that slapped me over and over, you truly deserve an award
My dear friend my stupidity was more than a deserved reward

To the friends that made sure the swift hand of justice came down hard as I lay dying
To the friends who threw me to wolves because my broken heart was "just lying"

For all of the friends who hear whispers and think that they truly know who I am
For all of the friends who turn their backs and think that I'm just a scam

My hat goes off to all of you friends, for you've truly put us through hell
Working long hours kicking me when I'm down, you've all done your job so well

Maybe when someone I love has died and our hearts are lurching across the floor
You can spit on her grave, shake your heads in disgust, and know that we still deserve more
