Old Friend

Hello old friend, so long we've last met.
You're fine my friend, my life isn't fair.
Others cast me off like an unwanted pet,
And threw me to my life of despair.

My heart is dying, that much I'll tell,
And my soul is waning, to sleep forever.
I have loved a friend, in love I fell,
In pain eternal, in pure woe and despair.

But so long I held on, I spared no thought,
Of my sake nor others but only her smile.
Her heart I held, for I have fought,
Only to feel the pains of denial.

Now I weep in the sorrow of what I have felt,
Now I cry in the midst of other's laughter.
My heart is now dying, my soul will soon melt,
The pains of my heart, of emotional slaughter,
I have felt all the pains in the world.
