some friendships end out of hate
and hasty words spoken in anger
a rush of blood to the head
the swords are drawn in heated battle
but when the feuding has passed
it leaves no-one unscathed
some friendships end from neglect
a thoughtless mind's preoccupation
they cannot hope to survive
amid busy lives of self-obsession
and so must wither and die
that's how some friendships end
i truly believed that somehow we'd pull through
hadn't we both seen it all?
some friendships end in regret
that is the worst way they end
but then some friendships end
though it's true not all friendships last
i always thought that ours was different
you brought the best out in me
how did our friendship end?
