Where rainbows should be hanging
A black cloud seems to hover
I can't help but be a thorn
In the sides of so many others

Where do I go from this place?
This dark chasm in my head
When sanity flees from fear
Of the internal fire I've fed

Such ferocity these flames hold
The brutality of my mind
How could I have been so callous?
So inhumane, so unkind

I know I hurt your feelings
I hope you accept my apology
But I only wanted you to see
What it is you do to me

I let you in, I gave you strength
And you abused that power
You snatched my eyes, blinding me
And left me in the corner to cower

You may have fooled me, darling
But you underestimate me
I still saw through your lies and bile
I know the man you used to be

Why should I stay by your side?
Why should we be best friends?
I promised you eternal faith
But that contract's come to an end

I'm tired of always wishing for
A less excruciating tomorrow
So now it's time to lay you down
Along with this sweet, sweet sorrow

~This is for one of my once-best-friends who only wants to know me when he wants something.
I hope you learn the true value of friendship. If not, you're going to die a very lonely, bitter being~
