Another kind of farewell poem. The kind you write when you know your friend never cared. |
Looking back on the moments we had I can’t recall a time you genuinely loved me Don’t get me wrong: your heart broke For things anyone’s heart would break for You cried for me in my darkest hour And I’ll give you credit for being man enough to show it But something changed inside Every time we spoke you criticized Complained about the world and the state of your life While doing nothing to make it better I heard you loud and clear Made it known I was on your side But then we disagreed Didn’t see the world the same way I accepted you and your wrong opinions Fully hoping you’d do the same But you condemned me Said I was a poison to you When I should have been a medicine Well, the only difference is the dose Why do you think I rarely called YOU? We exchanged truth in letters I never stopped caring about you But when things fell silent I knew something was wrong And I took you to task for it And you slapped me in the face I can see now we never were brothers You were a friend while things were easy You never cared to search for the truth Your truth was all that mattered That’s fine by me, old friend I'll let things be your way You go ahead and play the victim I’ll choose to be a man |
