I cried myself to sleep last night,
you know I hate it when you two fight.
My world had gone gray, my eyes turned to red,
"It's somehow my fault." ran through my head.
I couldn't move for the pain in my chest,
when did our friendship become such a mess?

I've known this was coming for a very long time,
I knew that one of you would step out of line.
Then the other would act, without grace or thought,
and the strings of our friendships would quickly grow taut.
I told you both I won't be in the middle,
I'll sit on the sidelines while you solve this riddle.

While I was crying, he walked in and saw me,
he came in and rocked me to a miserable sleep.
There's a giant whole in my chest, it seems,
and not even his arms could chase away bad dreams.
I woke up just as depressed as the night before,
still anxious to know just how much of our friendship had been torn.

So don't even ask me, because I'm not OK,
I might be tomorrow, but I'm not today.

You know what, I may not be his last, and I'm certainly not his first. But right now, in this snippet of time, I'm his, and that's enough.

This is so good!!! I've been there before, hope things turn out ok...If you need to talk i'm here

So no more hiding all your pain, you deserve a new start. That's why i'm closing myself away, this is a message from your heart.
