where were you my fair-weather friend?

when i was flirting with pessimism
at the college of fear
you stood there mute
as fate kicked me in the rear

when i was waltzing with numbness
at the festival of pain
you turned a deaf ear
to avoid hear me complain

when I was frolicking with emptiness
at the office of joblessness
you never cared to pull me out
of the snake pit of joylessness

when i was feasting on starvation
outside the hotel of doom
you looked the other way
and fed me to the dogs of gloom

you were never with me in the beginning
never with me in the end
where were you my fair-weather friend?
where were you?
