Friendship ends through tongues which cut into the soul
Tears of blood stain one's pride.
You are racing the streets.
You are exposed
There is no where to hide.
Your sanity almost cracks at whit's end.
Your heart almost beats out of your chest
due to your fear of being alone and vulnerable.
Why did we break apart?
Why must our bond end like this?
Am I such a bad act when this curtain closed
and the crowd stayed silent such as the other part of
my friendship like a broken business partnership.
Sleeping in a card board box
Trying to fight for what you need.
You became sick of dancing like a puppet
to not be neglected of what items and warnings
of hitting those violent streets.....that these connections
demanded you are forced to head?
If you didn't, you have lost your "Place" in their "Company."
The homeless soul in a card board box.
In their hearts you no longer exist
For you, in their hearts, out you are locked.
Doors closed and tears fall. The ground is wet as you wade in an ocean of regret.
"Do I have to live under everyone else's rules of personality just to stay in company?"
"Is there a crime in being unique or being a 'man?"
For I've done all that was required of such....
This lost soul out of place....
Wishing for the ones who have forsaken and judged him....
To rethink their decision to keep their hearts locked...
Out of anger...as it clouds their bright places
in your friend's hearts as communication breaks down.
as does this "corporation of friends," "Company"
That leaves you all in a void.
For where you once stood....
And the position you filled in their "employment"
To proudly benefit them in "payrolls" in their days
Sparked to flames and burned this "business"
in anger in a blurry pageful daze?
Shall we stay apart,always, or do the years in which we built and
toiled to perfect this "company" mean nothing?
Souls cannot drift,alone,forever.
Or shall this lone dog, out of disobedience, rome the streets..hungry
Broke
Unemployed by "Company.."
In this "Business" called "Friendship.."
Is it worth a crushing permanent ending?
Or a brighter rebuild of the "Building" of this friendship
"Dwelling" on the foundation's site?
