Friend
Always the friend
A little like the bridesmaid
But never the bride
Chase never to be had
Yet breadcrumbs leave a trail for who?
Signals always flashing
For the led lights are always red
Shoulders are soft yet strong
But only used to carry the burden
Smile misread for friends
And only used to cheer you up
Eyes forever lowered
So the heart shan’t peak beyond eyelashes
Voice always quivers
But whispers words to set the tone
Blame I have only me
it’s easier than to hurt again
