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. - Oct 6, 2012
