Title: Ashamed and Alone
Rating: K
Shamed by his failures, Miz pushes his best friend away. He doesn't feel like he deserves the kind of light Alex brings into his life, not anymore. Not with what he's become. Months later, he sits alone, depressed, full of guilt and regret. Everyone's forgotten about him, including the one person he needs the most. Miz puts pen to paper in an effort to make some kind of apology, if only ever to himself.
I was ashamed
Too much to even explain
So I pushed you away
I placed every blame on you
When every failure was caused by me
Yet all I really wanted was for you to stay
My best friend, you were my only friend
I never deserved that kind of devotion
But you always stood by my side
Never expecting anything in return
Loyal and steadfast with passion that burns
While I, only ever clouded by my pride
I was deeply ashamed
Losing everything I thought I claimed
Until you were all that was left
And the one thing I couldn't bear to lose
So I struck the gavel and tightened the noose
Still loving you with my last breath
