No Title, Yet - 59
When I saw you turn and leave, I couldn’t believe my eyes.
I thought we were family, brothers with a special bond.
As I lay there bleeding, all I could see were broken ties,
A life no longer in the present, but moving beyond.
As I was slowly fading away, I saw you return.
I wasn’t sure if I was dreaming or if it was real.
I knew that keeping me alive was your only concern.
That’s when guilt became the only emotion I could feel.
I felt guilty for even thinking you would leave me there,
But I was in such a state of shock and absolute pain.
Because of you, I’m alive and able to breathe fresh air.
I’ll never take for granted this friendship of ours, again.
