The Friend I Built

I built a friend.

he doesn't have a name

because when i name them, I lose them.

we spent all our time together

we were best friends

and he cured my loneliness

he might've just been some pencils glued together

but he was my friend.

one day, he was crying

I asked him what was wrong,

and he said "I can't take it anymore!"

I tried comforting him,

but he didn't want my help..

he ran out of the house with tears on his face

I built a friend

we'd be friends to the end..

but the end came closer than I thought

one sunny, spring day..

he was lying on the ground

I should've listened to him

he said he was unstable,

but I told him he'd be fine.

I built a friend

and he broke himself..

he didn't have a name,

when I name them, they die..

but he died anyways.

I guess I shouldn't

build another friend..
