Bonds

Friendships end when they are put to test 
They don’t flex or bend weather old or best  
Someone useful becomes useless 
and selfish sides usually progress 

True closeness isn’t found in many 
never push the truest away 
I think for some not found in any 
make effort so good friends stay 

They will not be perfect and fall outs will happen 
for a short time distance not around the world backpacking 

and the truest will not look to bin 
a friendship with a crack in 
kicked out the house 
but in time always allowed back in 

And though people change over time 
the connection stays the same 
a simple word to remind 
reveals respect always remains 

Bonds will never cease 
when damaged they still be
become more than one piece 
but are always there to see  

You have to identify who’s good
from those with selfish greed 
awareness in where you’re stood 
good friends will rarely need 

Taking time out for others 
is precious to friend or lover 
putting oneself behind another 
most friends will never bother 

So when someone shows true care for you
and not spoken word but actions 
For them there’s one thing you never do 
and that my friend is axe them
