Friend

Friend I once believed I meant that to you But now, here I am Alone You laughed and teased With all those worldly ones You also called friends As you left me to myself No one bothered to warm the seat Next to me And so it remained Empty And me Alone I watch the rain slide down the window Two droplets racing against the other And remember How you would ask me to cover for you So you would not get caught Or How you would pay me no mind Because I just was not someone to Be bothered with Or How you would ask all sorts of favors from me Because the odds were not In your favor Am I no more than a convenience To you? I began to doubt Because of you I am afraid to trust And to believe When others would smile at me And tell me "You are my Friend."
