I once had a friend, who left me far too soon
He left silently, by only light of the moon
We rarely spoke, and away he drifted
Once gone, I noticed my interests had shifted

No more was I into childish games and toys
I started liking death, and that which destroys
I had found a new friend, with a hidden intent
He silently sowed the seed of discontent

I disliked my life and how it had turned out
Unable to trust others, all I knew was doubt
Far too late I learned of my friends vile way
By then my life was in complete disarray

I wish now this friend would kindly leave
His influence I no longer wish to receive
I miss my old friend, the one I called cheer
This new friend I am now growing to fear

Seems we've been keeping the same company.     Very well done, Mistikman.

I've got to agree about the last two lines here... They're really well done.  Perhaps you need to make a point of spending more time with that "old" friend, ya think??

Nicely done MM..
