I found hard times and pain,
no one to understand.
I found nothing but sorrow
everywhere I laid my hand.

I never thought you’d be a stranger
when I needed you, my friend.
I thought you’d be right beside me
‘till we reach the very end.

All the pain I have endured,
all the times I couldn’t hide,
when all my words had been spoken
there was nothing left inside.

I thought you’d be right beside me
like an honest, caring friend.
I thought you’d be here with me
‘till we reach the very end.

I feel I’ve reached a road
where all my hopes are left to die.
With a broken heart I end this poem
and many tears falling from my eyes.

But one last word I need to say
before I walk away,
I never thought you’d leave me here alone
when I needed my best friend.
