I won’t be your eraser any longer,
I’m losing more than I would like,
What I do won’t make you any stronger,
But I hope that what I say might,

I won’t watch as you make the same mistakes again,
I've seen you do it several times,
I won’t allow your selfish ways to have this effect,
And tear you away from your best friend,

Pencils come with erasers to fix their mistakes,
But your mistakes are more like permanent marker,
Instead of clearing the record without a trace,
You leave a bigger area Marked in Black,

I won’t be your clean slate or paper anymore,
I won’t let you bring me down more than you already have,
Your best friend is here to help you,
But you’d rather avoid confrontation because of your wrongs,

It’s not our fault that you keeping hurting yourself,
But we could help you if you would only listen,
My last piece of advice before our friendship splits,
Consult your friends before they call it quits.
