Long gone friend
Thousands of miles away
I've been all wrong
A friend like no other
You've been there for me
And been ignorant to you
Only thinking of myself
And none of you
You are the one I run to when I'm down
And desperation is all around
You help me pick up the pieces
Using you dry to hatred I have
There's not a fix for this
But I say my apologies
Older brother I see you
An adviser through the fire of adolescence
I've broken you so much
And yet you tolerate me
Yes, you tolerate me
And yet I still have the nerve to be ungrateful
And I have made you so hateful
Oh a cruel reality indeed
You are the one I run to when I'm down
And desperation is abound
You help me pick up the pieces
Using you dry to hatred I have
And I cannot erase my mistakes
But I say my apologies
I am young
I am weak
I am stupid
I am meek
You are strong
You've helped me through so much
Then I went and broke your love
And we stand
Ever so far away
In every single way
My wise adviser
Rich with the creativity of poetry
I have hurt you
I've ignored you
I've only come when I've needed you
And I'm so sorry
I cannot fix what I have done
But I'm sorry...

To my friend Karl Franssen aka Bryson Flegg. I know you've been mad at me for a while now, and for good reason: I've seemingly forgotten about you, dropped communications completely for a year, then only come back when I need you. I understand what I have done and I am asking for forgiveness. It is up to you whether you grant me such or not, but I hope we can move on from this. Thank you.
