Friend

Guarded by my self destruction

I tend to fall apart

A hidden seed of imperfection

Lies deep within my heart

Surrounded by my wants and needs

I know not where to turn

I follow while my conscience leads

But still I never learn

A broken stranger, lost in time

Not knowing right from wrong

Caring too much, my only crime

I've called this love too long

The words get harder everyday

It's time for this to end

But I've loved too hard to hear you say

That I'm nothing but a friend
