Paradox Of Life

Friend Dear

In friendship's realm, I fear I stand alone,
Though I consider you my very own.
I reach out when longing fills my heart,
With every text, I hope we won't depart.

I give my all, as much as I can give,
Yet in this emptiness, I cease to live.
Why does this loneliness take its toll,
Leaving me trapped within a lonesome hole?

I reminisce about the warmth we shared,
The tight embrace, how much I truly cared.
But now it seems you've drifted far away,
As if my presence brings you no joy, no ray.

Am I a burden, overwhelming your days?
A parasite, draining with my lingering gaze?
Do I suffocate, consuming your affection,
Drowning you in attention's confection?

I come to your aid when you are in need,
Yet you're absent when my heart starts to bleed.
Why don't you reach out, extending your hand,
Saying hello, before I make my stand?

Am I deluded, thinking we're still tight,
Bound by a bond that you ignore, out of sight?
My love for you, dear friend, still remains true,
Even if you don't reciprocate or pursue.
