Friendships
I didn't want to make friends at first,
It used to make me feel happy,
Like when you really click with someone,
We were just kids, chatting, laughing, having fun.
But it faded from my memory,
Met more people,
Some brought joy,
Like a shelter away from home.
I had one like that, or did I?
A friend or a foe, I couldn't tell.
I guess I was just a kid,
She'd hit, but kept me safe,
Safe from other troubles.
Then another came along,
I loved her, she seemed perfect,
Kind, with no worries to share.
Then came betrayal, like a lightning bolt.
I closed up, became guarded,
Focused on someone I saw every day,
Sis didn't approve, but he made me "feel".
I confined myself to that small part,
We drifted apart and fell away.
It took years to trust again,
Then she moved far away,
Anyone who gets too close leaves,
Like leaves falling, but this time there's no season,
No winter, spring, or fall.
Now it's all just sad.
