A True FriendA Poem by LostParadigmDo you remember the
stories mother told us? All the people that
loved us, But now those distant
far-off memories are all we have left, The Pastures filled
with nothing but hate and blood, I’ll take that pain
away and fill it with the good we’ve done, Because life’s far
too short for regrets don’t you think? Take the anguish
away, Don’t let this beauty
wither away, I’ll remember you for
who you were in the beginning and not just the end Hold these feelings
close never let go, It won’t be long
until the bleeding goes, It pierces like
dagger that is; unending is the fighting, the battles consume us Forever is this
repeating in my head; how long is it before my time comes, Like a virus it’s
taking over, And the battle drum
sounds; it’s hitting us loud, Louder than words, it
screams to us, fuelling the rage in us, Take it, and rip it
apart, Leave you for dead, Leave you broken
inside, Rip out your guts and
gouge your eyes, You’re not what I
thought to be, Lock your doors and
barricade your windows. Don’t wanna hear
another sob-story of how bad your life was, Don’t wanna hear
people saying ‘you know you’re better off without her now’ Since when do you
give a s**t about her anyway? You were broken and alone,
I told you ‘never let go’ It’s about time I
followed my own advice, Shall I let it get
worse, or actually end it? Take the pain away, Don’t let this memory
fade away, Regardless, I think
it’s time to break out. Hold these feelings
close ready set go, Fill the pages in
with the stories we wrote, It burns like the
flame that is; becoming the inner-tyrant
controls and destroys us, Forever is this
repeating in my head; how long is it before my time comes, Like a plague, I’m
getting all torn up inside And the battle drum
sounds; it’s killing us now, 1...2...3... POW,
blood shooting out, 15 years of the
violence… You can take it, They will leave you
for dead, Leave you broken
inside, Rip out your guts and
gouge your eyes, You’re not what I
thought to be, Lock your doors and
barricade your windows. Now you leave me, You were nothing but
the world to me, But I’ve gotta carry
on, and so have you, You were a true
friend, Not make-believe or
just pretend, But now I admit I was
wrong, But I can’t make amends, Instead I hope you
are happy where you are © 2013 LostParadigmAuthor's Note
