• You were my protector, my angel that
    Protected me from loneliness, isolation.
    You healed my wounds when
    I was in pain.
    You were my friend,
    Who wasn’t forever, as we promised,
    To be.
    From sharing our toys
    When little,
    To growing up
    As we got older.
    It was my fault that you’re
    Gone from my life now.
    This chain that bonded us,
    Is still shackled to my wrist.
    Is it telling me to remember?
    Or to forget?
    The pain, the hardships,
    The feelings we faced.
    I can’t stop the memories
    From coming to my heart and soul.
    I regret deeply what happened,
    I wish all that I did wrong could be left behind.
    My unrequited feelings for you
    Is that what hurts me still?
    When I come back to say “hi,”
    I just feel so bashful,
    When you return the greeting,
    I hide in fear
    Of being tormented,
    For liking you,
    And having you as a friend
    That never lasted
    As we promised forever.
    The rift seems to be
    Pulling us apart,
    Further and further,
    Day by Day,
    I can’t hold in the
    Tears that rush down my
    Face, the warm, yet
    Bitter tears that stream
    From my heart and soul,
    Drench me in pain.
    Is this suffering the only bond
    Between you
    And me?
