Friends Forever?

friends forever
it's what we say
friends forever
and everyday

new friends come
and old friends stay
funny how they get more interesting
everyday

friendships grow
stronger new
friendship strains
me and you

I don't know how
and I don't know when
but suddenly
you've gone to see them

leaving me here
all alone
leaving me here
next to the phone

no call
no word
nothing at all
now I can see
what's bringing me to my fall

tears to bed
and tears to work
tears all the time
since in my thoughts you lurk

Emotions bring words un-meant
from being emotionally spent
physical pain was an aid
but being there with you is what I'd trade

and in my dreams:
you leave me
can't you see?
I wake up from the abandonment
all that's left is the raspy screams

You come back and I smile
you come back and I pretend
after all I would never send
you to the place where I cried for hours
days
a week
because it's not your pain I seek

friends forever
it's what we say
friends forever
until today.
