Find a Way

We’ve been through far too much
In these eight months to throw everything away.
I’ve lost my crutch
So now here I lay
Wishing I had been wiser,
That I had thought more,
So that I had been a better analyzer
To prevent our friendship from becoming a forgotten lore.

I meant every syllable I ever spoke
When I told you how much you mean to me,
And that our friendship isn’t something I’d revoke-
Do you still agree?
I know you’re angry
But deep down you must still believe
Knowing I did this to you renders me unhappy,
But it’d be worse yet to watch you leave.

I made a mistake
If I’d be graced with the chance to go back
It’s an opportunity I wouldn’t hesitate to take,
So that we could get back on track.
Your presence in my life is something I sorely miss
I can only hope that you also miss the way we used to be
Because it’s painful to reminisce
On what I no longer see.

The sun’s rays don’t shine down
On the shady part of the garden
That once held so much renown,
But now the flowers have all fallen.
Instead, the weeds have taken over
While human weakness pervades
Feeling like a painful sarcoma
That I soon hope fades.

The memories remain
Hopefully strong enough in your mind
Not to render my attempts in vain
While I try to convince you not to be so disinclined
To move forward with high regard.
Even though it may be hard
I know that we’ll find a way
To make it all okay.
