Empathy is not a quality i claim to posess
Human struggle is a universal truth
A listening ear is scarce and unwilling
Human emotions are a trouble to soothe
A trouble i feel no accountability to take
Irrespective of whom the troubles break
Her tears and words on my deaf ears fell
Her pain causing a world of despair
Her love for him was true and loyal
A girl with a heart pure as gold
A girl who's heart i recklessly broke
Our childhood reminiscent of happiness
Two friends with a bond unbreakable
Until she fell in love
And the bonds started to fall apart
Her mind was filled with thoughts of him
Her every word led to him
My best friend felt as would a distant stranger
A friend i lost to the whims of love
So i made a call though i knew it was wrong
A decision to break what made her strong
He was good but his will was weak
It took me but 2 weeks to wreak
A love she claimed was unbreakable
I proved wrong with a vengeance
The fact that i felt no regret was nonplus
Her accusing words seemed but a fuss
'Homewrecker!' she screamed and spat out
Appealing to a conscience i worked without
Guilt and regret i was told i should feel
But my sense of victory i could not conceal
