Unwelcome Back

when a friend should stray
turn his back and walk away
they break you heart
something unforeseen from the start

in the middle of the night
I awaken with a fright
is it just a feeling now
or is he hurt somewhere somehow

he was once my very best friend
but then with a halt it came to an end
he stepped away out of my life
a cut so deep sharp as a knife

then with no warning he appeared
and walked back in just like I feared
but do I want him back around
allow him on my hallowed ground

I've carved my space my spot on earth
is a broken heart all I'm worth
where he belongs I'm not quite sure
but I know I'm worth more

I've pulled myself out every day
struggling pushing pulling every way
to get my life out of that grave
it's my own life I must now save

so stay away turn your back
walk away again let light again turn black
leave me to live my own life
and never again cause me such strife
