Friendship Blues

I call them in my need,

But none of them pays heed,

I call for encouragement,

All I get is estrangement,

I give them my heart,

But they break it apart,

With them I spend my years,

But I only end up in tears,

I reach out to hold,

All I get is a scold,

When I am in despair,

None of them care,

They claim to be my friend,

Not one of them stays till the end,

No matter how much I try,

All I can do is sit and cry,

I feel so sad and blue,

In real need of a clue,

A clue to end this pain,

To put my pieces together again.
