On Love and Friendship

From a persons view a gentle soul,
Here to help, Here to stay
In his oceanic mind hurricanes did loom,
Doubts returned to haunt him

He never spoke his mind,
He doubted what they may say if he did
He fakes his laughter and his smile
To all those who were around him
He has cried many a time but never
Has anyone understood his rhyme.

Now today he faced his last blow
His friend who stole his heart of hearts,
A heart he always cherished and cared,
His friend a thief took it away instead

He had no choice but to give up
For he did not want to risk both friendship and love
He came to a conclusion
He cleared his mind

His feelings gone long ago
Now he threw both love and affection.
Of what was left he did survive
but only for time that was never on his side

He is haunted no more by his doubts
His soul no more brittle
He cries no more, for he knew his way
This being the only way out

Now he lies under stone and mud
Never to be disturbed
Death was but an option before,
Until he had lost all that he lived for,

For the love he never got,
For a friendship that betrayed him,
For the soul he never had,
For a mind he wished no one would,
For a life no one should,

One by one the other options disappeared,
Till he was left with nothing more than death,
Death was not something he wanted,
But that which the world made him take,
He smiled to himself, nearing his end,
A sigh of relief did he send,
with a smirk on his face did he say,
Even in death existed no choice,
He forever then rests in peace,
Never to be disturbed for ever more
They all forgot,
They all moved on
He was left alone yet again
