Jaded

I was supposed to make a poem about friendship. “Supposed to”. Yep. My mind had other plans.

I’ve heard a million lies just to catch a word from you but you’re still not here with me maybe I need to hear a million more

I’ve seen a million promises break just to get a glimpse of you but you’re still not here with me maybe I need to see a million more

I’ve endured a million stabs just to feel you again but you’re still not here with me maybe I need to endure a million more

I’ve taken a million steps just to get you back but you’re still not here with me maybe I need to take a million more

I’ve faced a million fears just to keep you safe but you’re still not here with me maybe I need to face a million more

I’ve shed a million tears for you but you’re still not here with me maybe I’m just tired of it all
