The last friendship ended in discord.
Or was it just silence?
You couldn't remember, your mind a fraud.
However it ended, there was no balance.

Yet you've found it in the most recent friendship.
These people understand you,
You're now always joined at the hip.
But there's always the thought that they might abandon you.

They're great people, really.
You can relate to them, they know the boat you're in.
But you wonder if it might end glacially.
However when you see them, all you can do is grin.

They know of your addictions, they've seen the scars.
They know of your pastimes, they've seen the outcome.
They have said they'll be there if there are more scars,
They have said they'll be there if there is another outcome.

Yet why do you still feel like maybe they'll still disappear like those pastimes?
Is it because your trust is on strife?
They're better than the last friends, those disappearing pastimes!
Unlike the last ones, they don't want you to end your life.

All you have to do is come out about these feelings.
Easier said than done, right?
Maybe they'll be your fixings.
Still, if you tell them, it could result in a fight.

So you say nothing.
Not wanting this friendship to end like the last,
The days go on, the trust only a something.
And once again, you've missed a chance to remove your cast.

I'm actually really proud of this one :')
