My Friend

My friend

We were meant to be friends

Until my health did descend and I drove our friendship to its end

I wanted everything to stop and in the process our friendship did drop

I tried to explain but on deaf ears my words did inflame

My awful words wouldn’t stop and eventually you did what I would have done the same

The friendship could not sustain

You can’t look at me again and I am so ashamed

I lost my friend, my health and for a period myself

I am trying so hard to be the friend you needed me to be but you won’t ever see it in me

I always knew you were around and was always sound

I miss that but my friend understandably doesn’t want to be around
