Every Breath

For an old friend....

With every breath I took
I tried
As with every breath you took
You lied
I felt you slowly pulling away
Little by little, and day by day


With every breath I took
I tried
As with every breath you took
I cried
I watched the poison run through your veins
Praying and hoping that you would change


With every breath I took
I tried
As with every breath you took
I'd hide
The fear that welled up inside of me
As I thought of what you meant to me


With every breath I took
I tried
As with every breath you took
I relied
On the words I heard about trust and care
Of a friend who always, would be there


With every breath I took
I tried
As with every breath you took....
I died
