Just Friends

The thorns of a thousand roses cannot compare what you've done to me,

A cage you've weaved all around, preventing me from flying free.

I wish I'd never said 'Yes', never agreed to this,

We were fine before,

Just friends, nothing more.

You weren't trying to hold my hand,

Trying to kiss my lips,

Trying to make me into someone I'm not.

Just smiling and laughing along,

Not taking my heart and leaving it to rot.

I don't wish you were dead,

Or in pain and suffering,

I just wish I'd forget when we were together,

The good and the bad, not remembering.

Just wish I could turn back time,

My heart in its place,

No thorns as my cage,

No pain, no suffering.

Just friends.
