Oh dear old friend, you've once again visited me only to take away from me.
Why do you hate me so?
Have I done anything to offend you?
Or is my being alive an offence to you?
Oh my dear old friend, your cruelty never stays away for long.
Each time I try to recover, you approach to freshen the wound.
Does my heart's ache pleasure you?
Do my tears quench your thirst?
Does my sadness bring you joy?
Oh my dear old friend, your timing is of the worst every time.
When one close to me is about to break through,
You come and break them down.
When one close to me is about to start living,
You come to end their lives.
Oh my dear old friend, when will the time come to fetch me?
Or do you prefer I witness all the lose before my time comes?
Do you really loath me so? Why?
I have come to embrace you as you are forever present in my life.
Until you come for me, I'll be waiting for you here
With my heart bleeding and spirit broken,
Awaiting you my dear old friend.
