People become friends with people just as ****** up as themselves They find solstice in each other You asked me why you're friends with so many people And I told you that since what happened was so traumatic You couldn't just be friends with one group To keep yourself together you needed the variety You continued with how there's no one to blame I was speechless I knew what you meant, and there wasn't anything I could say See, I knew what you went through I was there Just on the opposite side You were the sick one, I was the family Neither of us was able to control the situation Just you survived it She didn't You both stared death in the face You won She didn't I knew what it was like having no one to blame Now I'm going through that again She's 93 now, and is coming to the end There's nothing I can do There's no remedy All I can do is watch her lie there, praying over and over again I know life isn't fair I know it's not perfect I just wish I would have it be good for longer than 3 seconds I thought things were looking up for me but they aren't Behind every corner, Under every crack, There's a chance that something will go wrong And destroy my entire outlook It's funny how feelings are so ******* fragile How with the slip of a pen Or a single word Or even one moment Can change everything
