I knew the day you asked me
how I could be so nice to you
that you realized something was wrong.
I heard the frustration in your voice
when you couldn't push me away
when your vendictive lies and hurtful words
didn't seem to have
the effect you were expecting.
and I know
that you still lie
and you still try so hard
to make me turn away
and I won't say it doesn't hurt.
It hurts like Hell.
but I'm still here
and I'll still be here
because I'm your friend
and I love you.
because I know you aren't in control right now
and I know the demons in your head
are tearing you apart
so much worse than you're tearing me apart
because I remember wishing,
praying
that everyone would just LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!
and because I'm so glad
that they didn't.
