Loveliest Friend

She was there when he broke apart
Saw his scattered tears 'cross the page
His love and pain no longer required
While for him there was never a scorned lovers rage.
He broke again when her message was read,
Torn apart was he by it’s crystal incision,
‘I cannot help you’ was all that it said.

Can't blame her really, how much should she stand?
Though help was not what he needed,
Just a hug to soothe the heartache.
And he knew he would wait but will go unheeded,
When her look told him that this was the end;
And she knows that he cannot say goodbye
For she remains his loveliest friend.
