The Loss of the Friend You
Never Had
How can it be....to lose a friend
When all the time they were not
your friend.
I hurts just the same.
For you never knew.
And now the loneliness feels like
a hole inside
Too big to span, too high to climb
And here you are left at the bottom
of this hole
And pain keeps you alone
It's not his fault I thought he
cared
I read his actions with blinders
on
I thought because he wanted me
That meant somehow he felt the
same
But now he's left and just returned
And all that was before is gone
So I'm the one in a strange place
Without a support system
For I live far from my home
Away from all family
Lifetime friends have abandoned
me
I have no means to return to my
home
So somehow I must climb to the top
And escape this pain and aloneness
I must find away to make this place
Into a home and heal myself
Wish me well and send me strength
For life goes on and we live our
fate
So I will raise again from the
ashes
And rebuild this person Me
