Friends...

I did all I could do,.
To help you, to be there for you,.
I was told to leave you too many times to count,.

I left my life behind for you,.
Now I need to rebound,.
You were what I wanted; a necessary drug,.
I could never leave someone so broken behind,.

Now I am aware that I cannot save you,.
My heart bursts from such a thought of never seeing you again,.
I reached out, I turned my life upside down,.

Just to be there for you as much as I can,.
Then so be it; I will deal the upper hand,.
First the dead,.
Then the living,.

My life needs to be free,.
I see the value of a true friend,.
I wish that could have been us,.
Waving to the denizens of lost kingdoms,.

All I needed was common ground,.
I told you before this happened,.
My needs are as strong as yours,.
And our love should not be a disease infested battleground,.

I love you with all my heart,.
I bid you a happy life,.
May nothing but happiness come through your door,.

I am there for you if you ever want to talk,.
I will be there if you need a hand,.
A good, true friend,.

Don't take this as a bid farewell,.
Take this as me taking my life back,.
And getting back my peace of mind.,.,.,,
