Absent Friends

Where are you friends,
In my hour of need?
I’m trapped in here
And you’re nowhere to be seen.

Not one took notice when I gave out a scream.
Not one came to see
When I turned and fled.
Not one came to help me.

You all said you’d never leave me
After everything last year.
You tried to make me better
Not a clue, that was clear.

How could you understand?
If you are never here.
The only words you ever offer
Are never of good cheer.
