Letting Go

Running through the neighborhood,
To tell my latest tale,
Of romance and or heartbreak,
Of saintly deeds and sin.

I use to tell you everything,
Secrets between friends,
A way to vent our emotions,
An escape from all our woes.

I depended on you for kindness,
For ways to make me laugh,
I was there for you through hardship,
From boyfriends down to death.

But in the end it was not enough,
You walked away so fast,
Spreading rumors and stupid lies,
I was only left to ask:

What happened to my friend,
The one I held so dear,
The shoulder there to cry on,
The jokes to make me smile?

I miss that dear old friend,
But this is truly how it goes,
I walk away forever,
Saying goodbye,
From now on letting go.
