I’m sorry I can no longer be your friend.
I’m sorry the drugs have destroyed you.
I’m sorry you can’t stop.
I’m sorry I can’t help you.
I’m sorry you distanced yourself.
I’m sorry I can’t trust you.
All you do is ask me to help you get your next fix.
I’m sorry I can’t contribute to this destruction.
I’m sorry you have fallen off the edge of reality.
I’m sorry I have to say goodbye.

This piece is about a friend who has gotten hooked on drugs and I just can't be his friend anymore.
