A boy unknowned
Treated so cold
Noone cared to see
All he wanted was to be freed
He had no friends
So I thought I'd lend a hand
He was but a happy me
I understood clearly
Since I knew the way he felt
I attempted to help
He had a dark secret
Or so it seemed
Just a normal kid
But that was overseen
Known, he had a stroke
Which made him eternally broke
No one cared
Except for me
Even then I had to flee
He loved me for me
But hye barely knew Miki
So I wouldn't let it be
I know he meant well
But my truth rang out like a bell
I broke his heart in two
Things continued to get more gloom
And now I feel bad
He has all rights to mad
It's happened to me before
But I deserved it more
How could I be so blind?
And trick his troubled mind...
So in the end
Befriended by me
Still stung like a bee
His hell unescapable
A heart so flammable
Burst into flame
Never thought I could be so lame
He got what was done to me
Did my best to set him free
But trying isn't enough to be seen
I failed
No way to bail
Is it really my fault?
Or am I trapped in a self- putdown vault?

Dedicated to a troubled friend... lost, Ben Pierson.
