Friendship is a ladder
At one point, in yours
I was at the top
A confidant for all your woes

Now i feel you
pushing me down a few steps
Once at the top
Now i feel like I’m just like the rest

I understand we have had our struggles
Our fights and our screams of harsh words
But didn't we overcome that foe?
I could’ve have sworn things were on track
To becoming as they were before

Now i stare at you with an unreadable expression
Wondering how we reached this point of tension
Conversations once filled with love and joy
Are now hollow, lacking warmth and affection

If only there was a way to travel back in time
Take it all back
Restore that effortless Rhyme
However our clock keeps moving forward
Passing time

I feel our once close bond stretching
Our support for each other dwindling
Can we ever bring it back to how it was before?
Or are we destined to live with the distance and the bore

I miss being a comfort for your sorrows
But it seems your heart is under lock and key
Locked away
In fear….. of me

I suppose my past actions
Caused you to exercise caution
But even with the darkness leaking through my bleeding heart
That form of fury would never be directed in your direction

We have had our talks
But it seems we need a stronger form of communication
For even after
The cracks still remain on the walls

But can those walls be repaired
Made brand new, like nothing was ever there
Can we fix our divided hearts..
I beg of you, i want you back
I want this pain to stop

The future lies in your hands, my friend,
To restore what's broken, make amends—
Or leave things shattered on the floor.
There’s only one way this story ends.
