Best Friend

October 3, 2014

Gone, just as you had come.

So innocent, so unwilling,

pulled along by another pig-tailed girl

with a mean right hook.

It's a cycle I wish I could have broken,

but alas, I leave my thoughts yet unspoken

for I would never be enough to fill

your empty heart that's breaking still.

Not like this, not as I am,

so I leave my body in this land

as my mind drifts up, up, cross't the pond

for we have an everlasting bond.

I will watch as you're slowly worn

she leaves you broken; she leaves you torn,

because you and your platonic lover

could not bear to leave each other.

Gone, back to where she's from.

So demanding, it's chilling.

Pulled along by her desire for another good man

whose heart she can break.
