Convenient Friend

I thought that our bond was stronger that the roots it came from,

like a tree standing tall for centuries,

that you and I didn't need to constantly be at the edge of our seats begging for release from our prison,

that we could find the light in the darkest of situations and nothing would break us.

I guess I had a different definition of unconditional love,

as long as the conditions were alright

you could love me.

But if the A standard ever got changed to a letter below,

I only have the silence to listen to

and you're nowhere to be seen.
