Minotaur

I don't know where to begin

I don't know where to start

Oh, I loved you once

Though you loved me not

I accepted that, of course

Though it hurt a lot

I was lonely then

So, yes, it hurt, a lot

You called me friend

Your efforts, though, were sparse

I guess, you felt there was no need

Because you knew

You were always in my heart

I had hoped that, maybe

Now and then you would share

At least moments of your life

But you never seemed to care

You accepted me though

And I... I trusted you

This is how it all began

And when at last you said

That you honestly cared

I believed that, too

I believed you

To be true

Then came the tide

And it brought a storm

It was bad, so bad

Like it had never been before

I cried out in pain

In agony and despair

I called for your help

But you were not there

Like I knew, you wouldn't be

I knew, you would not hear me

Not in time, I knew

And I, I accepted that, too

I somehow made it

Through that night

I do not remember how

Do not know how I survived

And when, at last, you found

The note that I had sent

All you did was pretend

That you didn't understand

And you never came

You never even called!

How am I your friend

When you do not care at all?
