Tried to Help

You cried to me about being lonely

You called in the middle of the night

When no one listened, I did

 

You said you were fine

But it’s not what you said

When no one payed attention, I did

 

You smiled and laughed

Like everything was fine

When no one looked, I did

 

You never thanked me

You never talked much again

When no one was there, I was

 

I was a good friend

I was willing to help

When no one is there, don’t try to find me.

 

When no one listened, I did

When no one payed attention, I did

When no one looked, I did

When no one was there, I was

But now, no one needs me
