Friends sometimes are like balloons.

They come 'n go like balloons

They will be there for a moment

But, if you let go

They float away

Out of your grasp

Making you regret letting go

But you best get over that balloon

Not shedding a single tear

Cause really..

You were the balloon...

Your friend left you in the air

Never to be found

If they didn’t have the effort to run after you

Are they really a friend?

Sad, true

Annoying, yes

But no matter what

You can't keep that grief built up inside

You'll have to teach yourself to let it go

No one will stay by your side

I've learned that the hard way

I've lost countless friends

But keep a strong mask

Hoping it'll last till I get home

So I spread my sorrow on the drenched pillow

That stupid mask can be off...

Till the morning

Then it's back with the damn mask

To hide the red puffy eyes

Runny nose

Black circles under your eyes

Same depressed face

That says a century of stories

All that behind a damn mask

That no one bothers in taking off

For all they know

Your not pretending to be happy

Because they aren't true friends

Every time you texted them and say

"I'm fine..."

They ignore the dots and continue about thee pathetic life

Find the friend that will hide the knives

The one that hides the blades

Hides the noose

The pills

Everything you'd think of.

They'll take away

And hug you tight

Telling you they won’t let go

Won’t pop you

Because...

That's a true friend that cares

A friend that won’t let you inflate alone in some bush of loneliness

They’ll keep you til you’re ready to go

But be careful

Some may not let go

But some may throw you away in the trash
