A Friend


A friend of mine left today;
Where she went i cannot say.
When i'll see her i do not know;
But when i do i'll never go.

She left so quick without a word.
If i had listened carefully i might have heard,
The soft sounds telling me to go.
Oh my friend i miss you so.

My dear friend left me ripped and torn;
She left me half dead and neatly worn.
My girl where did you go.
My friend i miss you so.

During the day we used to talk,
Talking and chatting while we walked.
Sharing thoughts i thought you cared.
Now when i think about it, it makes me scared.

You acted like you wanted a friend,
Wanted me, needed me, loved me till the end.
You sounded sincere in all you said,
Now i feel as if you left me for dead.

Today i know you love me no more.
I realize this although it makes me so sore.
My thoughts through the years were all in a dream.
As if love is nothing more than a small bright gleam.

As is everything in life, the gleam must die.
But the one question that i have is why.
Why did you have the strength to only lie;
To make me think that you'd rather i die.
