I can’t idle by and watch you die,
Watching the man I trusted fall apart,
Losing himself piece by piece.
Lost the traits that defined him.
Lost the qualities that held my respect.
Lost the sparkles that had caught and held my eyes.
You lost your loyalty, so there goes my regards.
You lost your compassion, so there goes my heart.
Honestly, you’ve lost your honesty.
lying to yourself.
You’ve killed the boy we knew.
Living only as a lower metamorphosis of my real you,
I can’t watch the death of a man I had looked up to.

It’s All or Nothing,
No more greys.
Give me something to believe in,
Hope is lost that you’ve became this way.

I’d rather live in the memories of who you were,
Than face the reality of the man you now are.
I’d rather stay inspired to live better,
Than face the fact that the morally strongest man I know is falling.

This is just too much of a shame,
To watch the real you consumed to the drugs and the booze,
Partying it up like such fools.
No no, let me just remember you by past memories,
As that friend that picked me up,
Taught me passion,
And changed me.

The reality now is that you died,
In a fire which spread far too wide.
Run all I want, but this I can’t hide:
You’re gone from this life forevermore,
This “friend” left over is a mere skin of your before.

I don’t know why you changed,
If it was what something I did, said, or didn’t say.
Or on you did she cast a shade.
What has shaken you to drop the virtues that you held in such high esteem?
I’m curious as to what was the fiend.
From rock to dust,
You’re now gone to the wind.

Unmerited men
can’t be kept my friend.
