That was then

I remember when I was young.

Mark and I lived life by the moment

right or wrong

All that mattered to us was that we were on our own

It didn't matter if it caused problems

We didn't think about that

I was a hustler, and he was a thief

A perfect criminal pair

Then things started to change

Charlie died to protect me from getting killed

I felt guilty, and Mark said

"You can't change the past

I am sad too, but nothing could prevent this"

Then I fell in love with Cathy

Mark was jealous

All I thought about was her

and helping her cope with M&M

One day, to my suprise

I saw with my very eyes

A huge container of drugs under Mark's bed

He was a pusher

I called the Cops

They came and arrested him

He yelled" Why did you do this to me, Bryon"

I couldn't believe what I did


This Is Now

I was so sad

and mad at myself

I lost all my emotions

I no longer loved Cathy

I broke her heart

I felt guilty, yet I don't love her

She's now dating Curtis

Half heartedly,

I hope he mends her heart

But it doesn't matter to me if he does

I visited Mark one day in Prison

Anger lit up in his eyes as if he wanted to kill me

So I left

I don't give a darn about Mark anymore

I don't care about anything anymore

I feel to mixed up to care
