Friends...
everyone has one, including you...
we constantly laugh, joke with our friends.
man...
how stupid can we get?
We all fall into their clever words and actions.
they put their arm around you as most friends do,
you go to parties with them,
you talk to them,
you tell them your secrets,
and they promised to never tell.
They say they will always be there for you,
and they make you feel wanted, needed in these cruel times.
that is until you really need them.
Where were they when I needed them?
When I was hurting and bleeding?
I asked them to help,
but they all ran away...
they left me there with those men,
They saw the murdering look in those guys eyes as he pinned me to the wall, blade drawn.
They saw the plead in my eyes, and the fear that I was feeling,
but they left me anyway knowing I could die.
all of them turned the other way
pretending they didn't see a thing.
How many times have I helped them out?
protecting them from bullies,
or letting them borrow lunch money?
You know they never did pay me back...
so much for borrowing, its more like taking than borrowing,
Whether its taking money or my trust its all the same to me.
I watch their backs turn the other way, and the knife peirce my skin,
I realize...
who cares about me?
who cares about how the 'quite' child feels?
she will be perfectly fine tomorrow, she will heal herself...
man how wrong they are,
sure I will heal, but that doesn't make the pain go away.
the pain of heart break, knowing your friends really don't care.
that they only use you as a source of money or for some protection
or so that they can learn your secrets and tell them to the world.
friends...
we all have them...
We all say that our friends will always be there
that they will never abandon us,
man,
how stupid can we get?
