Forever Sure Went Fast

When I first made these so called friends,
I thought we'd make it last-
Last forever through think and thin
Forever sure went fast.

Countless whispered secrets,
Now my worst enemies-
Enemies closer than friends they say
I wish now I had listened.

Such a cruel place this is,
A world without rules-
With no clear path anywhere to see
Since when was war at school?

I ask myself from day to day,
Where did I go wrong?
Did I choose so badly, again?
Why couldn't I be strong?

A weekend filled with crying,
Now the war has moved to home.
Home - my only sanctuary,
Now even that is gone.

Being herded down the halls,
Ducking to avoid being seen-
Seen by eyes that only wish
To hurt me yet again.

The trials of school and family,
Apparently not enough.
What have I done to deserve this?
Tell me, why did you take my luck?

They swore to have my back,
Be it through guys or a bad grade.
Why the sudden change of heart,
When I didn't do a thing?

Maybe that's the reason,
They're now being oh, so cold.
Maybe I just missed the things
They never even told.

Should I have watched them carefully
And guessed their every thought?
Watched for every little sign
That may not quite be caught?

Stick together, forever, through thick and thin -
Forever sure went fast.
Though they won't ever come back,
I think that's for the best.

A.N. Please R&R!!! I've been contemplating posting this for a while, but
never really got around to it. Thanks! Hasta!
