Stay By My Side Poem by Colette Grosvenor

When ever I cry you come to my side,
But when I stop you just go like the tide.
Why can't you like me all of the time?
Being friends with me isn't such a crime.
I want you to be there what ever the weather,
So we can stay friends, and stay together.
Is it too much to ask for you to be there?
Because friends like that are very rare.
Friends like that don't stay for long,
Thats why through life, I have to stay strong.
Walking alone, without turning around,
Staying silent, not making a sound.
If I were to go run and hide,
Woud you come running back to my side?
