You Are Your Own Friend

You remind me of me 
And that hurts the most
When I look at you
I think of the cost

It's costs me so much
Emotionally
And what I tell you
You will never see

I think of others
And what happens to them
You think of no one
You are your own friend

You think that makes sense
At this time right now
One day you will see 
That you did not know how

To give to others 
And find joy doing this
What you can't do
Is what you will miss

Satisfaction
In all that you do
Changes in  Life
One day affect you

nice piece; really enjoyed reading it in the blackened grip of the midnight hour.
