Sometimes I wish
I wanted nothing at all
From the people I knew
From all those I saw
If I could cut out my heart
Quickly detach
Then it wouldn't hurt
I wouldn't react

People are there
Or so it seems
Only when it's easy
Only when it's clean
You see friendship is a bond
Not an exchange
It's not one favor for another
You do it with Friendship as the claim

But when we are young
The way they seem to act
They wear their hearts on their sleeves
But can't handle a scratch
Yet they expect the same
Seeking a bond they can't maintain
Selfishly severing ties
I told them would never stay

Oh and I tried
One piece of me at a time
Don't be scared of trust they said
Oh how easy to make words kind
And it was a mistake
One I've come to regret
Letting people in
Just so they could make a mess

I've shut myself in
Pushed others out
Because their supposed friendship
Is just one of caution and doubt
Angered they couldn't See Me
Disappointed once they did
I could never be myself
Without upsetting them

I had not a soul to find solace in
Not a heart to sew to my own
I found there was no use for Me
the Alone have no home
So I walked to the deep, dark place
Where all people will come to gather
Sadly the stone above came to be my
only Friend
But in the end, it didn't matter.
