I Had a Friend
Once upon a time ago
I had friend you see
Jet black hair and soft brown eyes.
And never did he leave.
We'd take long walks
We'd tell bad jokes
He'd hold me when I cried
And give me bad advice.
It's been so long
Since I've seen that face
But the friendly smirk
Is now a guarded look.
In silence there we sit
Far away averting our gaze
We're in a very sinful place
To write our failures again.
But guilt and sorrow
And shameful pain
Have me biting back some tears
Because it is my fault.
You see I had a friend
I broke his heart
And turned my eyes away,
Then he watched me take my leave.
