Dear Friend
My split soul cries
For you, young friend,
Dear as a sister,
Close to my heart
My life is broken,
Yet still I break;
Inside, I break
For you –
You who have been
A burning hope,
Beside me always,
Shining pure and strong
In my sadness,
Your words have held me –
A weeping child,
Pressed to your life,
And in my joys,
Your laughter brought
My soul to smile
Upon your smile
But it is time now –
Time to say
Goodbye, my friend,
Though only for awhile
For when I smile again,
It will be yours,
My dearest friend,
And my heart will be home.
