Old Friends

I have this friend,
This friend of mine,
I ask what's wrong,
She's says she's fine,

But I don't believe her,
She's not the same,
Not her old self,
It's such a shame,

She used to be,
Bright, happy and fun,
She would laugh and bounce,
And smile a ton,

But gone is the light,
Of her old happy smile,
And energy that,
Would go on for miles,

Nothing is left,
Of the person I know,
Why aren't they here?
And where did she go?

It's painful for me,
To sit by and watch,
When it's easy to see,
She needs me so much,

But when I reach out,
To answer her call,
She pushes me away,
And builds up a wall,

I cry, I beg, I plead,
Just let me in,
I care about you,
Because you're my friend.
