My friend for life is always there
My friend for life will always care
about the things that worry me,
about the times when I can’t see
that things around aren’t quite as bad,
the things that make me lone and sad.


My friend for life won’t ever judge,
or critisize, or hold a grudge.
My friend for life will never tell
my darkest secrets, never sell
me out to those who wish me hurt,
to those who try to dish the dirt.


My friend can always talk to me,
about the things that she can see.
The things that make her scared to go
to places dark and deep below.
To places only we two know.


My friend for life knows who she is,
My friend for life my heart I give.

.

Words not said

No need

She felt his happiness

he sensed her pain

.

Just a glance

No more

She saw his anguish

he witnessed her joy

.

Two minds joined

As one

.

He was her soul mate

she his inspiration

 

.

Let me read it to you

.

 

He looked from afar
not knowing whether or not

she felt the same

.

She glanced from a distance
afraid to reveal
her feelings for him

.

It was meant to be

but

it never was

.

 

There’s a very fine line

between friendship and love

But how do you know

if you’re below or above?

A brush of a hand

Her breath on your cheek

When she looks in your eyes

Does your heart miss a beat?

I’ve crossed that line

I wonder if she

Feels some of the magic

That’s happened to me?

 

The beach looks different today

The sea the sky the waves are grey

Pebbles now are hid from sight

The shore a sheet of dazzling white

I hear a laugh I see a child

throwing snowballs running wild

There a puppy leaping high

chasing snowflakes in the sky

I look around, I love the way

the beach looks different today

Let me read it to you

sitting

quietly

in a corner

sobbing

tears flowing

down her cheeks

alone

mind searching

for a reason

confused

wondering

why did he leave

suddenly

joy

happiness

now all gone

crying

trembling

curled in a ball

inconsolable

others

ignore her

it’s like

she’s

invisible

Let me read to you

She sits and stares
unfocused eyes swimming to the horizon
Gazing into infinity
.
No sign of tears
Her expressionless face an empty canvas
A sea of pallor

I look into her eyes
I see nothing but a swirling mist of grey
That sparkle gone

I try to ask her why
a cloud of despair envelopes her
She hears me not

But I will wait
I’ll stay by her side for as long as it takes
for her to return

But for now
She inhabits a sorrowful place of her own
Somewhere

I know not where

Let me read it to you

 

 

.

I heard a voice, a soft voice
Follow me it said
Suddenly from the gloom
A girl appeared
What do you want? I said
Follow and you will see she said
I said I don’t want to
She said You must

She ran down a dark street
Occasional streaks of light
Revealed her tear stained face
Hurry, please, she said
Faster and faster she went

I can’t keep up I said
Hurry she said
I’m losing you I said
Then she disappeared

Where are you? I called
It’s too late she cried
What did you want? I asked
It’s too late she sobbed

I guess I’ll never know

Let me read it to you

She was staring into space
focusing on nothing at all

I asked her why
She said because

Her eyes were filled with tears
Which trickled down her cheeks

I asked her why
She said because

Her brow was heavy with sadness
Her face etched with sorrow

I asked her why
She said because

She knew that I was leaving
She knew it broke my heart

She asked me why
I said because
