His eyes are faded
His face empty
Disappointment smothers his body
For once again I've let him down
Those days of splashing in mud puddles
And building tree houses have long gone
Memories of laughter and such bonding love have
Washed away. The way he used to smile in such a
Warm and vibrant glow has too, vanished.
Everyday I suffer from such disgust and hate
I can scarcely bare it; and watching him
cross the street, holding hands with another man
As they laugh and putter in the rain
And grow their own bond with each
Other; a friendship, a connection I've now
Realized I can have no more; tears me
Apart day by day.
This is the only regret in my life
I wish ever so that I can go back
In time to the place where I was
Happiest the most. I would give
Anything for that, and most of all
I would give anything to be his
everything again.
