Close Friend

When nothing is going your way
When you can truly sit there and say

You hate your life
I want to be there for you in your time of strife

I don't want you to be so alone
So relax with me and become prone

Prone to bad intent
To sit with me and vent

I'll hold you tight if need be
I am a close friend you will see

Cry on my shoulder
I will sit and hold her

Let everything out
No longer cry and pout

Look up at me
I want you to see

I will always be here for you
Of this will always be deemed true
