Friends
March 20, 2013
My friends have began to drop like flies.
2,4,6 as the days go by.
Through the laughs, and through the tears; You guys have been here through out the years.
I can't trust, it's something I deeply refuse.
When I do, I tend to loose.
I allowed them trust, and now I am lost.
For opening my heart, I paid the cost.
All this aching pain I cannot bare...
As the days drag on, my heart continues to tear.
Give them a smile, they'll go away.
Maybe I can survive a few more days.
Tears will fall, my heart will break..
I sit here and wonder how much more my heart can take.
