Best Friend

I am the embers on the edge of
Your delectable cigar
And the cancer perched between your lips
Won't get you very far
But alas it makes me watch you
With such adoring, faithful eyes
Makes me wonder how long you've decieved me
With all your well thought out lies
And the smoke that drifts from your lips
Is like my sanity floating away
Makes my eyes start to tear up
Like some tragic, Shakespearean play
And I want to tell you, darling
How your eyes are like the sea
How they captivate my reason
And get the better out of me
How that smile forming on your lips
Says I'll never ever be yours
No matter how hard I squeeze  you
I'll never get what I've been waiting for
When the silence of this world surrounds us
And all I hear is your breath
And your heart poudning melodies
Rapidly in your chest
If this is what best friends is about
How can your stare be so fleeting?
And the way you've been holding me
Isn't such a friendly meeting
And the way your eyes beg me
To hold onto you tonight
While your lips on my neck triumphantly
Wage wars throughout the night
The way you lean against me
The way we tangled on my bed
I thought I could detect your voice
Recording love songs in my head
Don't tell me you sit so close to me
Because we're going to continue as just friends
And that we'll never know each other
Until one of our lives has to end
I passed by our spot today
And I slowed to a mild stroll
To catch a glimpse of where confessions of "I love you"
Were broken free and I told
You that I'd never be without you
I said it with my heart
Were you just too preoccupied to hear it
With tearing us a part
I found your cigar lying
In the gravel in the sand
And I left it there to rot just like
The spot that we will always stand
There is where I gave up
All the remainder of my sanity
Given it up for a life of struggle
For all this false vanity
And if I can forget the sound
Of your heart in my ears
I'll be lucky and maybe able
To dry away the tears
Don't worry, you're not hurting me
By not giving into this affection
You're just killing me so softly with
This reoccuring rejection
But don't worry I won't leave you
Believe me I could never
Walk away from this false promise
Of best friends forever
