They said friends dont last Because the word ends with end And i thought- Language can’t predict love I thought we were bigger than syllables Until you left Without a sound loud enough For me to brace myself One day we were permanent The next You lived only in memory I turn myself over in my hands Looking for the crack The moment i becme too much Or not enough. I know i wasnt perfect But i was there Even tho i was unraveling I thought that counted. I cried the other day Not for drama Not for pity Just grief spilling quietly From a heart that keeps choosing people I keep finding almost-friends Who need me Until they don’t. I pour And pour Until i am empty And somehow Hats when everyone leaves I show up when i can I disappear when im breaking Isn’t that what trust is for I make plans That dissolve Messages that never come back While your life keeps moving Without me in it I dont need to be chosen first I just need to be told the truth It hurt So yes I cry Because caring hurts more When you pretend it doesn’t. Sometimes i wonder If something is wrong wiht me If wanting something wholesome Is asking for too much If the only real friendship I was meant to have Already ended Maybe being alone Is safer Than loving people Who dont stay Still- I hope Because somewhere There has to be someone Who doesn’t leave When im human A friendship That doesn’t end Just because the world does….

Friends with an ending
They said friends dont last Because the word ends with end And i thought- Language can’t predict love I thought we were bigger than syllables Until you left Without a sound loud enough For me to brace myself One day we were permanent The next You lived only in memory I turn myself over in my hands Looking for the crack The moment i becme too much Or not enough. I know i wasnt perfect But i was there Even tho i was unraveling I thought that counted. I cried the other day Not for drama Not for pity Just grief spilling quietly From a heart that keeps choosing people I keep finding almost-friends Who need me Until they don’t. I pour And pour Until i am empty And somehow Hats when everyone leaves I show up when i can I disappear when im breaking Isn’t that what trust is for I make plans That dissolve Messages that never come back While your life keeps moving Without me in it I dont need to be chosen first I just need to be told the truth It hurt So yes I cry Because caring hurts more When you pretend it doesn’t. Sometimes i wonder If something is wrong wiht me If wanting something wholesome Is asking for too much If the only real friendship I was meant to have Already ended Maybe being alone Is safer Than loving people Who dont stay Still- I hope Because somewhere There has to be someone Who doesn’t leave When im human A friendship That doesn’t end Just because the world does….
