Very young
I came to you
As a child, your with who I played
Growing up, your who I sat with
You'd watch every sunset without a choice
I told you endless stories
You speechlessly listened to each
You heard every dream, wish and worry of mine
All without a blink
Without a single distraction
And without regret
How you defeat pain
Made me wonder and annoyed both
Most of all
How nothing ever phased you
Angered me so
So there I’d sit with you
Afternoon and day
Accompanied only by the crows
It was my heaven
Or so I'd thought
I desperately wanted you to help me
I needed you to take away the pain
I expected so much from you
Especially after all this time
All I could do was react with anger
I asked you to run with me
Some place we could be free to live life
Thinking you would want to leave to
It angered me when you only sat speechless once again
I was taken far from you
Ripped from you more like it
My best friend, my vent
My silent buddy
Until now I didn’t know you as anything less
But now I know you finally as
A scarecrow, only.

Like it, nice twist at the end, didn't see it coming.
Thank you, i couldn't tell if it was too cheesey.
