best friend

 

Look, i know i hurt you, 

i know i did you wrong. 

I don’t know what happened, 

but baby it’s been so long-

 

since i wrapped my arms around you

and vowed to never let go; 

and yet i walked away crying,

watching you drown in snow. 

 

The blinding blizzard of anger, 

of fear and disappointment

(disappointment in me, I know), 

that swallowed you whole, 

and doubled over left me bent. 

 

I hid the pain inside,

because i was the one who did it all, 

who left you there, 

and didn’t even call; 

 

i left with out warning, 

rushed and in a hurry- 

with no hint that it was coming, 

damn everything’s still so blurry. 

 

I can’t figure what happened, 

why I left you standing there, 

you hide it away inside, 

hibernating it like it’s some bear-

 

but boy i see straight through you, 

that’s what a bestfriend’s for. 

Lets calm down and work things out, 

before you get up and walk out that door. 

 

Don’t stand up, 

baby please, oh please, don’t go. 

I need you more than ever, 

don’t let this hate be your foe-

 

just hold me tight

forever, 

and let me go

never.
