Friends?

Watching the sun rise
You professed your gifts
That you were a friend like no other
Begged me to ask you for help
When I had times of need
That your shoulder was there
When my pain overwhelmed me
You would stand by me
Not turn away in my hour of need
That I could trust you
And lean upon your strength
Yet when my tears fell
Only my pillow caught them
The warmth of a hug
Did not come from you
But a hot bath at night
Pain burning so intense
Yet you did not offer your hand
Now I know what friend you are
No different the rest
Silent when it pleases you
There when only you need a hug
So I lay to rest the illusion
Of the friend I thought I had
I still wonder if you ever cared
As I lay out here in the cold
But don't worry, it shall not be long
Till the sun warms my skin again
And you realize that this was not my loss...
but yours
