Patriarchal Friendship

i once thought you were so beautiful

i once thought you were so sweet

i told you everything about me

and laid my weakness at your feet



i once thought everything was perfect

i once thought no-one could touch

i thought i knew everything about you

it's obvious now i didn't know much



i once thought so many things

i realize now i was fooling myself

for where i would have given my life for you

you'd rather put me on the shelf



your actions say more than your words ever could

cast aside with no explanation why

i couldn't conform to your beautiful shell

this has happened before, why am i so surprised?

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Friendship is a beautiful thing to be treasured and held dear. Unfortunatly, too many people take it lightly. Perhaps that is why I have, maybe 5 friends, and only 2 of them live in my town!
