a pal you might've had
instead you chose to ridicule
it's really just too bad.
Now you'll never see me
for who I am inside
is someone that you'll never know,
if only you had tried.
What is it that repelled you?
There's many things to choose,
yet for everything that's wrong with me
it you here who will lose.
For what's lacking on the outside
is made up for deep within
in a heart that burns with so much love
you could be there, my almost friend.
It's a shame your eyes seek only
shortcomings by the mile
and your beautiful face be marred
by such an unforgiving smile.
We each go now our separate ways
and you won't spare a glance
as I swallow the tears I've never cried
at another stolen chance.
