Poem
The "friend" I thought was closest to me is actually very far away. I sat here and thought that everything was okay, One day things started to get hectic and I looked around For the friend I thought would be there to stable my ground... I searched high and low but still could not find That friend that for so long was known to be mine... I lost my faith and trust in you, Before you had seemed to be so true. As time passed on I lost the will to be strong... Why should I hold on when where I was, was wrong. I had turned around to believe in myself And patch up the pictures on my broken shelf You said you’d be there to help my carry on, When I turned back around suddenly you were gone. You said one time that you would be lost without me, Man you don’t understand, you just don’t see For so long you were the one person I could depend on But when I needed you the most a different friend came along And now it’s a different story, you’re okay without me So maybe I should just go away and let you and her be There’s nothing more I wish then to have you as my friend... And maybe someday that will happen again... But that is a lie because I know in my heart now you and I are simply very far apart. You said you’d always be there but what’s the sense in that, I should had not ignored you from the beginning, that’s a fact. So don’t make me a promise you don’t intend to keep, and even more, don’t say you’ll be there when you’re simply out of reach. I’m sorry it has to end this way, but there’s no where else to turn, and maybe when you need me and I’m not there your lesson will be learned. Don’t count on a friend to be there if you’re not there for them They’ll leave you all alone and they'll never come back again You don’t seem to need me, so why should I hold on And even though I need you, I won’t be treated wrong It's a brand new day, I’m leaving, no more tears in my eyes Don’t chase after me, I don’t need you anymore, Goodbye!
