Friendly Friend
Prayer in my heart and the smile on my face you should be
And far more than the sun smiles down at me
Blushing on my face when the skies are gray and my days gloomy
But you are my friend...
The friend that thinks when I back him his legs drag the earth
And the hole he has in his pocket a thorn on my wealth
And so he pours hatred from his breath
Costly assumptions reduce what we had as friendly worth
I had planted the seed of love
And I nurtured it in the little time we had that set a temple above
Fanning this flame that burnt zealously of
Of the sins never checked and yesterdays never looked in as we drove
But it grew to greatness
And this virgin heart became prone to weariness
One that can be caused by heartbreaks
But it loved nonetheless
And loved you with all its might, strength and prowess
As you burnt the torch for another
Yet claimed to love this lover
Yes, you had another lover
And I wonder what you wished to play, player?
Yet, you are a friendly friend
But my heart bleeds still
As it beats the rhythm is unpalatable
What friendly friend feeds it with venomous meal
So it cries of the blows from friendly betrayal
But love will always be love
It keeps loving and never unlove
No matter the hurt, the assumption or the move
Love grows in love
For love knows one truth, one even you will approve
To air is human and divine it is to forgive
And we owe each other that
As I may have had you too hurt
That our friendly friendship grows to be without
One that keeps bile a bitter trait
