I don't know you or how you feel,
Convinced myself that you need to heal.
Stupid really but it all is,
My life, your life, this...
I still think you and call you friend,
All we have to do is get around the bend.
I know you think me stupid and lame,
But to me it is all just a name.
I'm the shield protecting you from danger,
From unrealized people's anger.
The candle in the middle of the stormy ocean,
Still faintly burning, holding in all emotion.
Though this flame is slowly dimming,
From all the light I am giving.
Does it matter to you anymore?
That I am lying here dying on the floor?
You're being pulled to bigger, brighter flames,
To you was our friendship just fun and games?
I'll take my friends advice...
No longer being so nice.
I'll be here, though, if you need a shoulder to cry on,
But other than that I am long gone.
