I'M Losing My First Friend
When I see her my face drops
All that I knew
All that I dreamed for her
So profoundly misplaced
Deep in the pit of my soul
She is my sister don’t you know
When my tears fall like rivers
And that thought of what my Mother to me sends shivers
She was always there holding my hand
How I cried when she left my side
I would rush to the corner and weep and hide
Now her life is shattered and fail
My sister is absent of her color
The rain has turned into hail
She’s lost her way
Day after day
The drama and the scene
She shakes with a trembling horror
I just wish I could restore her
To the sister I once knew
Now the pills are her friends
What a sad message it sends
How can I watch her decline so hopelessly, and dear?
I ‘m losing her I fear
