The Friend Zone

 The Friend Zone 

The echoes of the words you never said back, such deafening silence

The tears rolled down my cheeks, so softly

But my heart broke with every beat, I couldn't save me

Surely, slowly waiting for the certain

But like John the Baptist I doubted my Messiah's coming

I searched for my peace and I got her

I longed for a sister and I found one

She was a friend and confidant, a true one

She held a part to my whole, my better half

But the love I searched for was still not found

It was my expectation versus reality

But it soon became just a fantasy

My love story was never meant to be

My dream was just that, a dream

"I was just a friend" , those words soon became my burden.
