Friendship Bracelets

I made you a friendship bracelet Each bead strung carefully Pearlescent plastic weaved with color Bead after bead Add a star, repeat Hours pass by And my hands were cramping But it’s all for you You’ll appreciate it, I’m sure Because what could mean more Than a bracelet made for you So I’ll string my beads of blue Onto the string until a bracelet’s done. I gave you a friendship bracelet Presented it with care You took it from my hands And said an empty thanks But you were tired I’m sure Because that smile can’t lie I’m sure that it’s true So I’ll make myself A bracelet matching with you. The bracelet stayed put On your nightstand each day As days and weeks past And you forgot my face. Did the bracelet mean nothing? It all seems so small now Did you ever care? As the memories fade The bracelet I made Stayed untouched A ghost of a memory.
