BE FRI ... Try Better Off Dead.

By saturatedloneliness6

it makes me sick
how she hangs on each one of his words
following him through his disaster
and tripping over the broken promises each time.

i hate it how...
...how she buys into his lies, believing all his allibies
and in the end of the day, she can still sleep sound
right next to him in the same bed.

it breaks my heart
how she smiles, but we all know on the inside
she is a broken soul, wandering behind him, not beside,
like he is always going to be her last resort.

i will always remember
how the one person in the world that i cherish the most
has left me behind and gazes on another
with dead eyes, as black as the clouds in the sky.

and it makes me sick
how i can say nothing to change her decision
and she can still lie to her own reflection in the mirror
"it will all change for the better."

i guess i now know why on the "best friend" necklaces, it says:
"BE FRI" on one, and "ST ENDS" on the other
because at the end of the day, the street will always end,
just as our friendship is destined to...and it's all over a man.

    ST ENDS... wow... nice, though painful, thought process to express a very familiar ache.

    I sure hope this isn't written in the third person.
