A Friendship Lost

A person once told me
That there is no friendship;
A fool then he called me,
I laughed in his face.

I thought I was smart
But the fool I was not.
Back then in my throat
I felt a hard knot.

How could he just think that?
And say it so lightly.
I felt my heart sinking
But just smiled politely.

He had his own convictions,
My spirit he could not break.
That was just one of his weaknesses
And I could tolerate it.

A boy once told me
That a friend was just a fancy word;
A fool then he called me,
I felt his words slicing me like a sword.

Friends are forever,
You just have to believe
That they will always be there:
That's the sweetest relief.

My friend once told me
That friendship does not exist.
A fool then he called me
And he went on to persist.

I was eighteen then,
My friends were my world.
Life has changed since
And I am all alone.

His words weren't lies,
He meant what he said.
I don't believe in friendship anymore:
Thanks to him for that.

Still it is sad,
I wish it wasn't so.
Lying night after night awake in my bed
I can't shake my sorrow.
