Coincidental Friendship

Where does one draw the line on a friendship gone astray?
Does one pretend it’s coincidence, or does one perceive it as an act of sheer betray?

Where were you when I needed you and yearned for your comforting voice?
For as I recall my best-friend; my loyalty to you was never a choice

Throughout all the pain and suffering, the laughter and the tears
My love remained unconditional; over the course of many years

Can you state the same for me my friend, my sister always within my eyes?
For one cannot base a friendship on coincidence;
Which has now led to our fatal demise

Our memorable days are far gone now
Our paths have parted us in separate ways
One on a mission of self-destruction
One on a mission to pray

Pray for me as well my friend
My sister, best friend and confidant
For those who are deemed not worthy of prayer
Are the ones who are mostly forgot
