An Ode to a Lost Friend

A long-lost friend, in a long-lost time,
A friendship so immortal,
Memories are still fresh but,
It feels so unreal, so sublime.

We laughed away without a care,
Of your futures unaware,
We talked our hearts out,
And nothing did we fear.

You gave me strength and stood by me,
When no one else was there,
But I wasn't there to save,
You from your misery.
And I'm sorry.

Guilt is my alias, shadow my soul,
I should've been there,
But now its too late,
Our friendship's now a ghoul.

A chance of redemption, forgiveness
I would certainly die for,
But I know God's not merciful,
To bless me with such completeness.

So many words left unsaid, so many,
Memories were to be made,
A friendship unseen,
But now I'm left alone on my knees.

I still remember your face so happy,
You trials to cheer me up,
Why wasn't I there?
To save you, to help you remain so.

I can only blame myself, that's all I can do,
But I promise one last thing,
My friend, forever shall I,
Worship our friendship with a heart true.

I'm sorry.

Snow


I took one step forward
And you took one step back
I'm not sure that you're ready
To pick up where we left off

I'm sorry I know and so do you
My life has been not so easy
To find myself I had to let you go
But believe me I did so with a promise

To come back for you
And even if you don't believe
It has been always so
I had to become me
To be with you

As I stand in the ruins alone
Of what had been once special
I realize what I let go to earn back
But I guess its too late to apologize

You're right to forget and not forgive
It was over the day I left
It was over when I tried to build for it
It was over when I promised to come back

Come back to you
And even if you don't believe
It has been always so
I had to become me
To be with you

And now I come back to an empty house
You've left with the fall
And its been snowing since
I'm cold but have no one to hold

Maybe this wasn't worth everything
To win, one has to lose
But never did it cross me
To win you I have to lose you

The snow is now too deep for me to walk
I have to give up, my feet buried deep
I wish I could see you one last time
Memories snow down heavy and soft
Like darkness they settle over me
Cold smiles warmly and I smile back
I wish I could see you one last time
Before I leave
