A Friend, Indeed!

In days of dread and gloom, the world seemed to fall,

Amidst whispers of plague, with hearts in a thrall.

I found solace in a friend, unique in their glow,

But for reasons unclear, our bond would ebb and flow.

Yet when you needed refuge, my door opened wide,

A shoulder to lean on, in sorrow abide.

My heart was shattered, needing time to mend,

In your warmth, I sought the solace of a friend.

But distance grew cold, like a task I'd become,

Until the veil lifted and revealed what you'd done.

Your whispers spread lies, sowing seeds of doubt,

Searching for ghosts that never came about.

You craved a car, and a sculpted face,

Your hints were loud in this twisted chase.

But when I questioned, you didn’t defend,

Exposed, and distant, to what bitter end?

One day you'll seek a friend, with acceptance to share,

No judgment, no masks, but love laid bare.

You once were a friend, but now, it's plain to see,

You’ve become a stranger, who means nothing to me.
