You were my friend

I thought you were

You were never him

And I was never her

But we were friends.

You were never cruel

You were never kind

But there was something in you

That only I could find.

You never loved me

I did not care

But if I looked for you

You were always there

Because we were friends.

We did not often speak

What was there to say?

But I thought you'd be here

Until the final day

He's coming for me

For what I said

For my beliefs

I will not long be dead

It's fine for you

When I take the curse

Why should it not be fine for you?

You'll be none the worse.

Even if we were friends.

And now it's here

My final day

Nothing more to hear

Nothing more to say

Only tears to shed

For years that were not

I'll soon be dead

And Charity Burbage will be forgot.

I thought we were friends.

We were friends

I knew we were

I may not be him

And you may not be her

But we were friends.

I didn't mean to be cruel

I didn't want to be kind

But there was something in you

That only I could find.

You never loved me

I did not care

But if I looked for you

You were always there

Because we were friends.

We did not often speak

What was there to say?

But I knew I'd be here

Until the final day

He's coming for you

For what you said

For your courage

You will never be dead

To me.

It was awful for me

When you took the curse

Why should it not be for me?

Would I really be none the worse?

And now it's here

Your final day

Nothing more to hear

Nothing more to say

Only tears to shed

For years that were not

I'll one day be dead

But Charity will not be forgot.

My friend.
