STAR

So real is the sadness that fills my heart with pain,
I'm sure there's somthing that I've missed.
My memory recalls feelings so strange,
as I held on to you like a precious gift.
Held on tight hoping time would stop for me,
but fate pushed you away.
And I lost my chance to really see,
the price I must now pay.

I lost a part of my humanity,
not caring for the pain I caused.
Now the guilt affects my sanity,
for no heed I paid your laws.
I took a good long look at my image,
upon feeling my weakness so strong.
Your position of trust and respect diminished,
just to have a companion I longed.

I know that you thought highly of me,
until I made that one mistake.
For my intentions, I did not see,
the friendship i'd forsake.
Sometimes I dream of going back,
maybe to try again.
But I don't think I've got the knack,
for I am my only friend.
