Conviction of the Mindless Act

My friend was arrested a few days ago while I was there. He'll be in jail for a few years because he had a few charges against him (dealing with drugs). I am pretty upset, so I needed to write

Once upon a dreary day, I left your side with a heavy heart

I walked away in fear, for I am a coward

But a helpless one at that; how could I have aided you?

If I were to involve myself, my future would be demolished

I would have preferred if you hadn't committed such a moronic act

Having so many heads turned against you,

Your "remedies" are dangerous to hold

And as you spend your year in a cell,

I'll be maturing and strengthening my mind

But even on my most diligent days, I will think of you

I'm so apathetic to this fresh wound

Discovering that I miss you now,

And still will loathe your absence in three years

You'll be a free man when I will be a busy woman

I would have liked to rejoice in changing your ways

But some are too far down another path when one finds them

You and I, our names must not have been written together in the stars

For every time I look for it, I see my own reflection
