Lost a Friend Today

I think I lost a friend today
I don't think she got what I was trying to say
If things keep on going this way
I'll have lost a friend today

I wanted the truth, and not in pieces
She folded her words, and was lost in the creases
As I sit and my loss settles
My anger is the source of my mettle

I won't apologize for her being unsure
I'm too stubborn, and too insecure
I wish that we could talk, so I could reassure
Her that I'm still myself, emotionally inured

But I won't break and she won't either
She just wants to take a breather
All the while I'll harden my being
How this turns out I'll be seeing

I live in a land of make believe
I don't think it believes in me
Unfortunately things just have to be
That's the world's guarantee

Her confusion got in the way
With the image that I convey
I know I won't be the one to sway
So I think I lost a friend today
