For twelve long years I tried to figure out
Just why it was you didn't care about
When I thought to praise her or her skills,
Advancing mine or others was her will.

I thought you busy, overworked, or what
But then you sent that email with that smut,
And thought you could confide in me that deed
Professed to be a friend in time of need.

But you will never measure up to her
My friend indeed who never asked for more.
My company was all she had and sought;
Her words to me, the lessons that she taught.

And if you thought that by your vice you'd make
Me take your side then that's the straw that breaks.
