Monkey See, Monkey Do

You cried wolf, I answered in a rash impulse. You screamed out loud so I got quiet and ran all about. I wanted you to stay, but you ran so far away. I felt like I had been led astray. You were my life, but you say things differently late at night. I called you, but I can’t utter a single word! I gave you less than you deserved! I tried working things out. Yet I didn’t realize you would find the real truth out. I could walk away while you had the courage to stay. Even when we seemed we were miles away. We we’re even closer than every break of day. Then the devil’s came back with reinforcement to destroy us, but we had nothing further to discuss. I watched our life turn to dust! I love you so, but I can’t breathe in this undertow. Through it all I will always cherish you. I cried for help because of the way I felt. Still you ran back to them. I guess no matter how hard we all try we just can’t win. True feelings aren’t supposed to die. I guess true love lies with your friends, and real love only weighs thin. Falling for you is my only bleeding sin. I was your only true friend!
