Friend Please Stay
With a pain in my heart,
I guess we never know
How much someone means,
Till we let them go,
When they’re no longer there
To hear our plea,
For help when our eyes
They cannot see
When we’re in our
Dark corner
And no lights about,
They were there when
A whisper was not needed
But a shout
To wake us up from
Our sleepy slumber,
The times they helped you,
You cannot number,
You realise now
You hurt them quite bad
They deny it and when
They see you,
pretend they’re glad
But deep down you remember
They’re the one
Who told you secrets when the friendship
Begun
And that despite what they say
You do know them well
When they’re hurt or annoyed
Is when you can tell,
That sorry is just not good enough
For them to hear but its too tough,
Because the pain you created
has caused a stain,
You realise you pray
for the friendship to remain
Because as I said it’s not till they’re gone
That you realise they were there all along
They helped pull you out the pit when others looked away
I miss you so bad…I want you to please stay….
