COLD TRUTH
I could
have smiled at him
And be
good pals forever
But
losing him forever
At the
same time
Or strain
our friendship
By saying
my mind
That was
a risk
I had to
take
I poured
a bucket full
Full of
the cold truth
Straight
into his face
I hadn't
really expected
He would
take it from me
And
neither from anybody
But I
could not keep quite
Seeing
him kill himself slowly
Wasting
himself away
Like a
candle in the blue wind
After I
had finished talking
I felt
relieved
But he
didn't say a word
He just
gazed at me
Like I
was a stupid dog
He then
turned
And slowly walked away |
