You walked away, a year ago today
It’s the first I’ve thought of you, my thoughts led astray
You were my friend, more so, truth be told
I thought we’d know each other old
Truth is, you left when I needed you most
When my life was in despair, you left me there
I’d looked in a mirror and I’d seen the sky
Swore wings were growing, I thought I would die
But you saw someone selfish, someone who cared for no one
Yet, I’d cared for you more than the sun
I’d given my home, my heart and my family
And you, you shared a little with me
I knew we’d lost you some time ago
When, to another world, you preferred to go
I see you sitting there now, still reigning
Hearing no whinging or complaining
Someone comes and cleans your mess, launders your clothes, helps you dress
I hope the wonderful vocal you rise to, brings you comfort
Cocoon you
Remember you still have stuff here
Perhaps you should be brave enough to call?
Don’t bother to beg and crawl
I’ll have it packed up, in a hold all.
I certainly wish you no harm
Please send my love and best wishes to your mum
You abandoned someone you said you loved
And now, you’re just someone, I rarely think of.
The End.

So sad. It’s when we go through the difficult times that friends are needed most.
