Fair Weather Friends

It's very easy to be a friend- when nothing's going wrong But when it does that's when some people- start singing a different song. They make up fake excuses- or just outright lie Which makes the one whose hurting- want to curl up and cry. Some people then become hermits- as in their homes they stay. Afraid to try friendship again- even keeping their feelings at bay It's really quite a shame- that this happens all to frequently. What's even worse is that from others despair and hardships- people find a sense of glee. Some people cannot grasp the concept- of leaving well enough alone. Filling their minds of malice- allowing their hearts to turn to stone Whatever happened to forgiveness- or showing some sympathy And if you've been in their shoes- where's your empathy? When are people finally going to learn- that LIFE is way too short! That their negativity and hatred- the need to abort! You're only lying to yourself- if you think that from these things you can hide And it's way too late to change yourself- once you've crossed over to the other side.
