Dying Friendships

a song for a contest

Dying friendships

much like drying flowers

wilting away

in a blue vase

counting away the hours

 

And

dying friendships

linger down the road

Sweet memories of smiles and fortunes

from years ago

 

And why can't we just comprimise

how come we can't see each others side

I wonder

it's a crying shame

but who's to blame

in this stubborn game

 

of I'm right

and your right

when will we ever learn

 

Letting friendships die

always seems to burn

 

Over your house

dinners on the table

playing some cards

playing some jokes

laughing away the hours

 

It's over now

and what a shame for me

no more laughing and joking and playing

it's memories

 

and how come we can't comprimise

how come we can't see each others side

I wonder

 

it's a crying shame

but who's to blame

in this stubborn game

 

of I'm right

and your right

when will we ever learn

 

letting friendships die

always seems to burn

 

letting friendships die

always

seems

to

burn.

That is exactly who I thought that this song was about! I could see the two of you together, I could see you sitting at your kitchen table writing this...writing your sorrow out, with your head low over the paper and one arm wrapped around your notebook as your pen scribbles fast to keep up with the flow of the words coming from your brain. This is a very vivid, very sad song. Pain makes great songs and poetry, it's because so many others can empathize...so many others have lived and suffered what you had the courage to express on paper/screen. Great Job. This is a great song.

Love ya,
Christine :-)

PS. THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN WITH OUR FRIENDSHIP...Got it! Love ya :-)
