Rage

That's what you get for trying to be a good friend.

I asked you nicely to please help me get it back before the evening. You said it was fine, and that it would be ready around 5 and you would give me a call.

Even until it was 6, there was no news. Please don't mess around with my anger.

I didn't call you personally because I knew you had classes. Out of respect I smsed you and even caught you online.

It was urgent, why can't you understand that.

You switched off both your phones when you said you would call me by 5. If It was really urgent and I needed it by 6, this would have been the end of our friendship.

But knowing you, I left a leeway of a few hours. But I really needed my stuff back.

If I had missed a funeral of a friend, my conscience would bother me till no end.

I was already shocked and sadden and having you to add another emotion to that was unbearable.

Please know that I am this close to bursting it all out on you.

Your apologies which I received online this afternoon does not cut it. Not one bit.

A true friend would understand why I said urgent when I did.
A real friend would take the trouble to honor her words and call me when she said she would.
A friend would not totally blow me off and left me hanging dry just like that.

You gave me no news at all. Not a word.

If I hadn't had your number,
If your mother hadn't been at home,

I would not be able to get back anything at all.

But instead, I had to personally call your mother and ask her to help find my things.

Thank you, auntie.
And thank you for dropping off the remainder of my things at my house later on, when I had to rush off.

I stand firm on my words. I loaned you something which was important to me. And I did it because I believe you would take good care of it. Even when you gave me only a hour's notice that morning.

I have never been so wrong.

The trouble I went through to borrow what I don't have to complete it,
To try get back the things which were mine in time for the funeral,

A funeral which I would have missed because of you.
