Farewell Friend

Allow me wrap you in my warm embrace,
so soothing and calm,
I could hear your heart race,
speaking to you was my healing balm,
I never imagined you were the cause of the aches.

Who knew so much could happen in this three seconds?
What did I do to deserve your hate?
When were you going to tell me I was your sloppy seconds?
Why?, after all the years I called you mate,
Where do I go with this heart aches?.

My sister, thank you for your honesty,
at least I died in hands of someone I loved,
and for that alone I grant you amnesty,
I pray you do not leave world without love,
so you too can feel the aches like i did.
