Friends
I stay by your side
through thick and thin
I wipe away you tears
let your sobs consume me
instead of you
I ease the pain
I listen
I smile at your jokes
I grin at your quirks
I love you for who you are...
why don't you love me?

You sigh when I comfort you
grateful for my sacrifices
Your mind is filled with thoughts
that would kill me if I knew
You let me take on your grief
You talk
You scorn
You frown and betray
You say the things your mind holds secret
You criticize my very soul...
why do I love you?

My heart tears apart
It crumbles at your words
When did this happen?
How could this be?
Why did you betray me?
If that's how it's going to be
then that's fine with me
I will live my life
without you
and without one regret
save the time I wasted on you
