Where Were You? Poem by Bradley Lester

Where were you when I was feeling down?
When I wanted a friend
Someone just to talk to
Someone just to hug
You were somewhere else
Caught up with your own selfishness
You heard my cries and please
But you just ignored me
Instead of helping to ease the pain
You turned your back on me
But when they were gone
When you found yourself alone
With nobody to be with
Then I was always good enough
To be in your company
To help you through your bad time
Where were you?
When I needed someone
