Tears


I talked to you again today
Feels like I'm grabbing at air
trying to save
what we once were
every night
listening
and tears that fall like rain
feel like I'm screaming
and noone is listening
why can't I save this
what happened to us
I don't want these
never had a friend before
that I thought of like my brother
never had someone matter so much
who didn't end up a love
yet it seems all I do is sit here with
tears that fall like rain
I'm incredibly selfish I guess
I just want you to have the best
It's your life I shouldn't meddle
I keep telling myself I'll stop
that I won't go off next time
I know you can't help but bring it up
I try so hard to be
everything to you
you've been to me,
instead I cause in us both
tears that fall like rain
trying to hold on
fighting to keep our friendship alive
not wanting it to blow up
I see the pain I've caused you
and swear I won't again
you don't damage
someone who is your friend
instead I always fail and find
tears that fall like rain.
I love you more
then I do my real brother
I miss talking late into the night
instead of hugging my pillow
knowing
on two sides of the aetherius
our tears fall like rain.



everyone has a friendship they have seen crumbling, and everyone has
fought to save a friendship at one point or another. This poem was
inspired by the warzone that became of a friendship of many years.


Penned by my hand on the 20th of Solis, in the year 533 AD.
