A Shrug and a Chug

Told my friend my trouble, Not a word did he say, Merely a shrug, And on his beer a chug... Why did I bother? No one seems to care, My baby's left me... And I have no clue, As to where... A hole torn in my heart And I don't know why, Was this a love, Doomed from the start? Enjoy your beer, My worthless friend And after time grants me A chance to mend... You will no longer be A friend of mine, For like my girl You do define The meaning of indifference, Casual, stylish hurt And if, in the future, My words grow curt Go chug a beer, And shrug it off, And if you sneeze, Or if you cough, My concern is gone, Dissipated by insincere responses, To my concerns, So if you feel you need a friend, Remember, on me, You can no longer depend.
