Talk Back

Talk

Remember through your tough times 
how I’d talk with you in mind, 
find perspective you were blind, 
Selfless help that shows I’m kind

When I went through my tough times, 
You’d joke that I had lost my mind, 
Subjectively reject the find,
Ignorant selfish failure blind.

Time I gave that you declined,
Attention care that you denied, 
Thoughtlessness not supplied 
A friendship found to waste my time

You like the friend I was too you, 
Doing things my friend don’t do, 
I bet you like my colours true, 
Get out my life and far from view 

You can say you don’t know why, 
tell the world how hard you try 
make me look unjustly sly 
play the victim, fine, goodbye
