A Close Friend
Can I tell you my
thoughts and you
promise to keep
them well Like
secrets of your own
that you'd never tell
My thoughts on
love, my thoughts
on life. As if i were
a curious child who
mind runs wild at
night.
When my battles in
life get tough and
I've decided I've
had enough. To
close my eyes and
want to never open
them again, the
thought of death
was once a close
friend.
I've overcome that
thought, I'm smiling
again and I've found
a new friend. I call
him "Life", and he's
greater than my sins.
He protects me,
walks with me in
life. He makes sure
the paths i take are
only right.
He never deceives
me, nor does he
ever leave me. He's
my shield when
stones are cast upon
me.
It is he that breathes
life into me and
shows me a new
day. I've lived, learn,
and I've loved
I only imagined what
lies above
To stop the beatings
of my heart, or
decide when it
starts, is not mine of
choice. I look to him
when I feel I've
been left in the dark.
