To us.

Something I wrote for one of my best friends

Broken hearts side by side
Scarred by all the other times
When trust was given quick and freely
And returned to us were wounds unhealing
Some we have loved have followed footsteps of aggression
But we'd rather sit together in silent depression
Gentle souls turned against only themselves
We wait patiently while the ones we love set us up on shelves
So we're there when they need us
And tucked away when they don't
We know nothing changes
But can't help holding out hope
Hope in better days
Or a bright and shining future
Fighting against the perception
That we're just a couple of losers
We chew on our bitterness
And then we'll swallow it down
We'll choke back our tears
Just so nobody drowns
My friend I am here with you
My brother I'm down in it too
Mind frame that says you lost it
That you'll never get it back
Like you're a train car full speed ahead
And you've run out of track
No quick fix in sight
But trust me I'm searching
For an ending to our pain
A cease to our hurting
Until that day comes
Though our hearts will stay broken
I'll stand by your side
And hear your words left unspoken
So this one goes out to us
As our glances exchange
Here's to the outcast
Cheers to the strange
