Salute - Mel Afoa

We swore we'll be best friends together,

pinky-promised in our hearts,

you swore you'd have my back whenever,

won't ever be apart.

then tell me why I stand alone,

and why your not around?

I wait for you till sun goes down,

your presence makes no sound.

Im stuck here waiting days and days,

for you to call me so,

probably with your new best friend,

coz that, i'll never know.

She has a rep for being bad,

and breaking friends with ease,

I told you that before she came,

yet you do whatever she please.

Ill never understand these recent days,

where ignorance calls your soul,

and desperation and popularity

all act as your blind dolls.

Its hard to see the way you went,

tossed me like a paper plane,

left on the ground to get stomped on,

invisible blood for pain.

I needed someone, someone like you,

who understood my needs,

someone like you who'd comfort me,

and bandage up my knees.

I needed someone who'd make me laugh,

roll off the bed with tears,

we'd have fun partying with our vodka,

and putting on make-up smears.

I needed someone, someone like you,

who'd make me feel so tough,

so I could handle the outside world,

heart made no more of fluff.

But obviously I was not,

the best friend you were seeking,

while your heart went on searching for,

it's my heart that was leaking.

Because of this, i'm all alone,

now loneliness is mine,

we've been best friends for 6 weeks now,

together we pass time.

So next time when she breaks your heart,

dont ever call my phone,

your stupid thought to leave me,

will leave you and yourself alone.

When she leaves and tears your heart down,

I won't be there to help,

I dont recall you aiding me,

when loneliness made me yelp.

I wont be there to hug you close,

like the times we did before,

Dont bother texting for I am gone,

your knocking my empty door.

Dont think I'll still be going,

on our plan to reach the moon,

Ill be partying with my mates,

not stopping anytime soon.

You really thought you'd get away,

but karma makes no noise,

it gets the people who betray life,

and use old friends as toys.

Dont think I'll be there in your life,

when you will be a mother,

invisible at your wedding day,

absent with your lost brother.

So here it is, my big salute,

I salute you to the end,

I got a new life ahead of me,

I got a heart to mend.
