I Almost Turned Down The Role As Your Friend Poem by Uriah Hamilton

I have never seen
the rain fall so lonely
on the midnight broken streets
of our wasted city
in my depressed and adult life
as when we parted with busted hearts
to estranged and different parts
of our once shared desolation.

I could swear to ancient deities of revenge
that I would see this failed affair avenged
but what would honestly be the purpose
to destroy myself further by witnessing
your humiliation when we both already have
such meager hopes in our humble stations?

I've never been driven by success
or to be the best at any given pleasure or pursuit
I've always accepted failure and fate,
I've always been willing to wait
for destiny or goodwill to open my gate
but I wish I could have said or done
anything to remain at least
on the outskirts and edges of your existence.
