Too hard

Is it too hard to go out of your way to help a friend in need?

Well, I thought it’d be nice considering I was always there for you

Listening to all the mishaps life has created

Telling you not to worry, it’s just a phase

You live and you will learn

So tell me how I fit in this equation?

You plus life equals advice

I may be bad at math but can we subtract from your selfish ways?

I may not ask or beg for guidance

I might be silent but certain things are seen

Signals show you I am discouraged and you are in need

The green light says go and you’re stuck at a stop sign

Maybe a road block is to blame

I remember a time when this road was built for two

Now only going one way in the opposite direction

We’re getting further and further away

And the distance is blinding for my hollow eyes

Tell me is a phone call away too much?

So is this friendship going to continue like this?

Because we aren’t really going anywhere
