Allison Kinzy Poet Lyric

For Friends

how could i have done this to you 
all of you who
would follow
me to the end of the earth and tomorrow
and tomorrow
and...
i must thank you, show
that i now know
how much you mean to me
and you never let me be
not when i was alone
body, mind and soul
not when i threw
you away, you knew
that i still needed you. 
and still do. 
and i miss you too.
i know how much you would
miss me should
i leave this life
what strife
i would cause
if i forever paused
these relationships
these friendships
memories of lipstick
parties that last
into the night, fast
fights and long
wrongs
all forgotten. 
we were rotten
but the best
of friends, open to any test
love runs thick
and some bonds stick
for a lifetime.
you are my lifeline
when i’m drowning you are my raft
and i have 
to remember
how good every member 
is
to me and i seem thankless
to deceive 
and leave.
i’ve had enough
and though this may be tough
i’m committed 
my resignation has been submitted
to the land of suicide
no longer will i ride
this tide that brings
me nowhere. so this rings
true 
for me, for you too
and i do
cherish what you’ve said
as i lie in bed
those words roll in my head
giving me the hope
that i can
i can
i can
cope.
