Tears Have Come To Late

When I wanted someone to help me
No loyal friend was ever there for me
When I wanted someone to hear my cry
Not one friend ever listened to me
Now I know what I must be
One that can only rely on myself
And now these tears you cry
Have come too late
Because the friend you once knew
Has been changed forever
And you will see when your time comes
When you must seek others for help
But not one friend will be there for you
And then you will live this lonely curse
That I have lived all my life

I'm sad you feel so abandoned, Sigfrido. Its not a pleasant human feeling however, now that you're a part of PoetrySoup there are no strangers here only friends you haven't met yet ... smile ... there is always another day and new friends. Good luck to you and congratulations on your writing being featured this week!
