Once

 

Do you want to know the truth? What I really feel?

The truth it hurts so much inside, it almost isn’t real.

The only thing in life I have is one true friend,

Who will always stand by me, no matter where I end.

You however don’t even care.

Even through the bad times you were never there.

I don’t know why but I love you,

But I think you probably knew.

A while ago life was almost perfect,

I know it’s hard to believe, but I really thought it was worth it.

I had great friends who made me glad,

Glad to be alive, I was never sad.

But look at me now, I’m in a state,

No one to care for me, it wasn’t worth the wait.

I thought you’d be there for me, to hold out your hand,

But then you decided to leave, on my own I now stand.

Maybe you didn’t want to go through with it in the first place,

I look in the mirror and see a tear stained face.

It’s getting late and I’m getting tired,

Maybe from life I should retire.

Tears roll down my face as I think of the easy escape,

But it’s now or never, before it’s too late.

I want to be able to have no pain,

Which ever way no points I’ll gain.

So here’s my goodbye to you and everyone who was there,

It was nice to know, that once you maybe cared.
