A FRIEND

Drifting away
lost to all but you
even I cant quite
place myself

Held onto by only you
pulling me from the
burning pits of hell
where to I would gladly go

A true friend
though never seen
always heard and
advice always accepted

Lifted up
high as a kite
brought back down
and hit by reality

So true that
it hurts to admit
I can't escape myself
so I run to you

Always there
for me to talk to
one day you will
understand my truths
