Mourn My Friend
She said she loved me,
And I believed.
A broken heart, a hard lesson,
That is what I received.
She never showed how she felt,
There was nothing in her eyes.
She kept her secrets and the truth,
Hidden behind her disguise.
I almost lose it remembering,
What we had.
All the good memories gone,
All that's left is bad.
When I looked at her;
She was perfect, wasn't she?
She was fighting a demon,
She never showed to me.
I wish I had paid attention,
A simple question to ask.
I had no idea she was crying
Behind her mask.
She would come home,
I would ask about her day.
A woman of few words,
She had nothing to say.
My body is falling apart,
My mind is holding on.
I feel like I'm clinging to life,
But my body is not strong.
I remember she promised me,
I will be there for you.
I did not know loving me,
was so hard to do.
I took her for granted,
She brought me hope.
She said she would be there,
Then she cut the rope.
For ten years,
She lived a lie.
Then she was gone,
No wave goodbye.
Jagged edges from memories,
She will be my last.
Slicing open the moments,
I want to leave in the past.
Memories haunt me,
My heart will never mend.
I'm over my lover,
Now I mourn my friend.
