"Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment"


Everything ends it's always on cue.
Flower's die, season's change, it's nothing new.
Relationships end, I've been through my fair few.
Things move on and life does too.

Loosing you is different,
Never saw a friendship coming let alone the end.
We came from two different worlds,
Who thought we would be friends.

Don't know why it hurts so bad,
It's not my first rodeo.
Thought I'd gotten good at goodbye,
Apparently not so.

I've lost people in my life,
It's not the first time for that.
I saw the end coming though,
I predicted them.

People run their mouths it's nothing new.
It's all my fault our friendship ended,
I could've stopped you.

'Maybe it's best if we're not friends' burned on my eyes again.
You gave me the option but I had heard the line before.
Tired of fighting and acting all strong,
So I just said 'k' and that was that.

I know you don't understand why I am how I am,
Why things affect me the way they do.
I could tell you my past and things gone wrong,
But I don't think you'd get it,
Most people never do.

Boy, I stumbled into you, something different and something new.
You knew just what to say when I was feeling blue,
In the midst of failing relationships I confined in you.

I told you before and I'll tell you again
The only thing I'm good at is ending what I have.

Everything ends it's always on cue.
Flower's die, season's change, it's nothing new.
Relationships end, I've been through my fair few.

Never knew friendships could end,
Now I know they do.


The author's comments:
I wrote this after getting into a fight with a really close friend. Both of us didn't think we would be friends since we came from two different worlds. (He is black and I am a white girl who has grown up on a farm around racist people.) We became too close for some girls that liked him and they started rumors although I had a boyfriend. It caused us to fight, so we finally avoided each other. Luckily, we are friends again.

But maybe you could work on the flow of it more. It reads a little jerky.
