The Idiot And The Fool (Happy Together)

Distance separates
Lies elevate
What was once so close in heart and soul
Is clouded by miles, half truths
Reckless ambitions

You are drawn to each other like moths in light
The illumination supplied
By cheap preferences
Convenience
Mutual loathing
A sentimentally challenged embryo of friendship

The very basis of your formula is deprived
And filled instead with the failures that you've dragged around in life
You claim to be friends, but to them nor I
Would you risk your chance at happiness
As much as you decry
Loyalty
Love
The words you save to be used one day
But that day may never come
And what you leave behind is cut and numb
And useless

I don't despise you, nor is the energy deserved
If your faithfulness is worthless, than your hatred is unearned
And the sinking ship you swiftly leave will form in every friend
And cut off all the hope you ever had in filling in
The hole, and every day it slowly grows
Less than inches, less than you can ever see
Until the day you end your life and struggle just to be
As true to yourself as you've enabled me
You'll die, but I won't grieve
Because the part of me that lives inside, is dead for you and me
And he
