As a Friend

It was raining
And it doesn't seem real
When I stood there waiting
For her wounds to heal

I was holding an umbrella
She was standing in the rain
She ignored her umbrella
She was there for the pain

Her tears have fallen
It didn't go as planned
Again she was broken
Again by a man

She is a good friend
A very faithful fan
But why did God send
Such a cruel man?

I want to hold her
And say, "It's okay"
But I can't go further
It's not a role I could play

It's not me that she needs
It's him and his heart
That has left her in need
For another to fill his part

I helplessly stood there
As she tried to handle
More than she could bare
More than what's gentle

As a best friend
I hope that someday
She'd be able to mend
And cast the pain away
