You never loved me as I thought
It was a motive that you sought
Masked by time and perjured by touch
This bond is compromised like an unstable crutch

You nurtured my heart and fed me love
My pain always treated by your caring touch
Summoned me daily to pay my dues
This love was not free…just a painful ruse

You promised me you would always care
You would coddle my cheek and stroke my hair
I would cry that life’s over in utmost despair
You would offer your support and guide my repair

We were everything that friends could possibly be
A mom, sister, daughter…you were all these to me
We walked hand in hand through sadness and glee
You told me that friends we would always be

So now when my spirits have risen above
You have closed off your heart and sealed away love
So now that my dreams have finally come true
You have broken the bond of me and you

Do you think of me often?
Do you still take a breath?
Have you mended our fences?
Or have you mourned our death?
