Trouble With Friends
Oh, my dear friend
Come and gone like a summers wind
To cool the air, to stir the leaf
This poem you will receive
From someone who loves you
Someone who cares what you do
Someone who offers advice
And hopes it will suffice
You cool my life, so hot
But sometimes you listen not
You aren't like me
I shouldn't expect you to be
You stir my living heart
I wish we didn't always part
But there are times I cannot stay
So please let me slip away.
I'm different from you and the world
Don't think I would change if I could
I love who I am, please help me stand
As I battle against the world's demand
Please help me be, who I'm supposed to
Be. Help me do what I need to do
I try so hard, can't take the world on my
Own. Don't let me die.
Listen to me, take heed
What you hear you may need
No one will listen, why won't you
Listen? I need your help too.
Listen to your language, stop
Your cursing. Please don't make me mop
I wish not to clean my soul
Count your cursing, take a toll.
I need as much help from you
As I give. Don't leave me like the dew
Is left by the wind. Every harsh word said,
Each joke told, tears a hole in my soul I can't always mend.
Each time the Lords name is said in vain
Another part of my tender heart is slain
I am dying, slowly, painfully
If I die let me rest peacefully.
So my dear friend
I am begging you before the day's end
Be there for me in every moment
Defend me against every opponent.
I love you
If you love me too
Spare my healing heart
Don't throw the next dart.
Every hero becomes weak
Help me wash away the streak
That the tear left. Support me
Before I can't move. Help me be
Strong.
