Friendship
Friendship can be a funny thing
it can make you laugh, make you sing
it can lift you up and throw you down.
friendship as a word is seldom heard,
so seldom seen by those that are blinded
no friendship will they ever see.
then one day it passes their way
something is ignited, a spark to a flame,
that's the truth, that's how it came
the flame shed some light, that lasted the night.
two people colliding, going the same way
much do they share, their souls do they bare
of good times, of sad,of happy and bad,
a true friendship,that's what they had.
wining and dinning with their partners
the pair.
just when you think life is so fair,
a dark cloud looms, it laces the air
lightning uncouples, it strikes the pair,
down do they tumble, upon the ground
do they stumble,
over what, it transpires,
did they call each other names or
harbor a blame,
can they help pull each other deep
from the mire,
or will they be lighting a
funeral fire.
who knows what's ahead, I feel to many tears
have already been shed,
but is that all that's to be said
that act, would leave a friendship broken and
ever so dead.
words should be spoken, this dual brought to an end,
for when its to late, when a friend has moved on,
the distance between, can be ever so long.
I feel a call should no longer prolong.
