Friends

When friends become strangers
It's like you lose a piece of yourself
Broken and shattered
When they leave they take a part of you 
Leaving you empty 
Not my friends
You've always said
Until you need them most
And they disappear
Always too busy
You make time for them
They never make time for you 

What are friends anyways
People we give parts of our lives to
Sharing some of our most intimate parts
Only to be thrown away when things get too tough
Even though they run when your life gets rough,
You still miss them
And want to tell them
The stupid details of your life
And you want to say you're sorry
Even though all you tried to do 
Was be there for them
Even when they were never there for you
