Goodbye My Friend

Love can overwhelm so quickly It can make you act silly Only time spent will tell what is to be I wanted love That highest of human emotion But a brother I was to you Our friendship which I nurtured and grew so carefully Scattered to the wind so quickly It crumbled with a soul wrenching ferocity That leaves my heart heavy A heavy price for my greed I paid I now brood in dark despair Displaying my sorrow for all to see The embarrassment of showing my hand And the rejection of wanting more is too hard to bear I want to fade away And sleep for eternity In the graveyard of actions That brought nought but misery I will always remember how I held you dear I wanted more so I could always keep you near It was more than anyone or you ever dared I wish you well My longed for My forever I will yearn for friend The seed that was planted Gave life to a relationship That matured too early And is now no more I wish for chances anew But I know I will never want anything But all of you Always dear to me you will be But I have no choice but To set you and me free From a friendship wrecked by me
