Author’s Note: I’ve tried to be the friend that patiently waits and listens to her friends. Yet I still hear that they just ‘can’t tell me some things’. Well, here’s what I think:

Is everybody happy now?

Is every body clear?

I wonder if you’ll notice,

when tomorrow I’m not here.

~*~

I’ve been up all night,

I might sleep all day.

falling into dreams,

just let me slip away.

~*~

There’s nothing I can do,

for anyone anymore.

There’s nothing for myself,

no different as before.

~*~

You think I’d be used,

to being pushed away.

Shuffled to the side,

like I was in the way.

~*~

I don’t like to be there,

for hands that will not reach.

And I don’t like to speak words,

with none around to teach.

~*~

Well maybe I’ll just go,

and leave you here alone.

Since you do much better,

when you’re on your own.

~*~

I don’t need an angel,

to watch over me.

In truth I’d always hoped,

that that was what I’d be.

~*~

But since you’re so strong,

I guess that I can go.

I’m truly tired of waiting,

for your feelings to show.

~*~

I’ll grow some wings and fly,

if I’m not needed by you.

I’ll just go and fly away,

fly away to someone new.

~*~

I’ve been up all night,

I might sleep all day.

I’m falling into dreams,

won’t you let me slip away?

~*~

I’m so tired of waiting,

of waiting for you.

Just let me slip away,

unless you don’t want me too.

~*~

Then I’ll stay I guess,

a caged bird held in place.

I wonder if you’ve ever tried,
