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.
