A Friend in Angst

Not his heartbreaks, nor his sorrows
Can move me from my standing place,
He had pushed away all of our tomorrows
While I tried help him move past his disgrace.

I watched him sit and wait for Hades,
The god whom I most despise,
I imagined him with his soulless crusades
As the tears were falling from my eyes.

You drove me to the doors of Hell,
I teetered on the edge,
It nearly swallowed me like a whale
Until I stepped back from the ledge.

I narrowly avoided Jonah’s fate,
As you cursed me with your lies and hate.
