9 Friendship

Why are friendships so nice?

But also so awful?

Every time

It seems to be going well

And then something happens

Often my fault I'd say

I feel delusional when it happens

Realizing I shouldn't have thought

This could go a long way

How many more do I need to lose?

To see that it's not good for me

Or anyone else I've known

They'll move on

But I'll still be picking up the pieces

To mend as much as I can

Why do I still try?

I know it won't last

But I know if I never try

Than I miss every chance I don't take

I don't belong having friends

So I keep it to a minimum

But even that minimum

Scares me at times

I feel I messed up

And when I do I hide

Or at least apologize

Even if that 'Sorry' is fake or not

When it is fake or real

I make them both so sincere

I doubt many could tell the difference there

I don't belong having friends

Or being myself

I belong alone

In my little hidey hole

With the dust and the shadows

Like any disgrace should go

So I'll be here

On the cold hard floor

Under the darkness

Where I should go
