A Friend

What is there to say when the days seem to fade away, The sound of your name throws me into the fray, Where I now stay writing your blood stains on this page, Poured the pain that pesters your brain into this friend, Akin to a lover but the intimacy rescinded, I've amended My heart to comfort you when you die in the dark, You shed tears and needed me in order to bear, Sometimes I pray to the god I know is not there for you to be right here so I could lay my emotions bare, On occasion I believe you don't care, Using my kindness in order to survive your hurdles, Constantly reviving you after she burns you when you tell her you love her so, I know I can't leave you there alone, When the darkness comes to claim your soul, But the strain on my emotions is taking its toll, And I can't care for you the way I did before, Though I'll always be here for you when you fall, Being so close- Yet so far way- Is not an option if I am to remain sane, So call my name if you're feeling the pain, But know it paralyzes to be just a friend.
