Life Boat

It's always me throwing out the life jacket
trying to save what wants to sink 
the value of our friendship simply cannot
be measured. I'll love her until infinity. 

But like the burning paper on cigarettes 
sometimes our actions can cause our 
strong bond to fade. Before the fading
can began a little panic mode starts
with in.

I'd never want to lose someone
I consider my kin. Were like Barbie and
Stacey although a tad bit more racy. She 
the organized type and I'm far too spacey.
Our friendship is so amazing that's why when
we sink I always try to save us. 

But it's she who needs to learn how to trust. 
She would give up on everything if she felt
any kind of bump. Currently in my throat I 
have a lump just thinking about where I would 
be if we ever sunk.

Once water covers our friendship 
it would simply be unsurvivable.

Another touching poem, a wonderful tribute to friendship. Always remember that a true friend would throw out the life jacket for you as well. Doesn't sound to me like you are "spacey"... sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders and a kind heart. I'd say your friend is very fortunate to have someone like you in her life. God bless, Amy :)
