Collaborative piece

My good friend (I'll call him Oscar) wrote the first two paragraphs. After reading it I was compelled to add on to it... This is the end result:


With all the facts laid bare... can you understand why I cared...as you see the truth as it is and it was... can you comprehend why it was never "just because"... even through the worst of days and the hardest of fights...did you ever still see me by your side?


You were just fixated on the growing nightmare in the distance... I was enjoying the best possible existance...you laid all the signs you could... and I never paid quite enough attention... I never held your hand when I should...or turned my back when you really needed it... I guess when it all boils down to it and the rainbow finally ends... you were waiting for the nightmare...while I was living the dream...


I looked to my side... reached for the support your embrace promised... you held me "just because". The foundation was laid... the warnings were screamed in neon lights... blinking furiously before your eyes. You never paid quite enough attention...you never held my hand when you should have...your back was turned while my heart burned...you should have known...


Left alone...I had no other choice... It was hold on for dear life...or slowly let you go. I could see you livng that dream...I tired of the struggle...hollow embraces...empty promises...forever reaching. Now that we've come to the end of our rainbow...it all boils down to this... you were living in a dream while I was waiting for the nightmare to end.
