I watched you walk away and leave

I remember the past as if it was yesterday

You were always there and I took it for granted

You annoyed me so I ignored you

In my eyes you were the crybaby

You tried to be my friend and I pushed you away

When you bothered me I was angry and put you down

When you needed help the most, all I could do was watch like a spectator.

And then you were gone.

Your last words tore at my heart

It was the cruel irony of an eye for an eye

I watched you go down that path that few followed that day

It was when you were gone that I realized

You were my friend

What you said now sticks with me forever

"Those who abandon their friends are worse than trash."

I was the fool

It was my fault

And now I can't do anything about it.

My mind runs through what I should have done

Yet all I can ask is the pointless and useless question, Why?
