" Lost Friend"

It's dark and cold inside today..
For I have not done right and 
took a smile away..
Intentions were set to be good..
But everything fell apart as most
things sometimes do..
My silence is hard to keep..
But it's what is best for a heart so deep..
My sins I hope the rain will wash away..
Trust me you will be better with me 
out of the way..
I tried to juggle only to fail..
You heart will flourish with a better
wind in you sail..
I'm better for what you have taught me..
But my insides say it will be tough to 
forgive me...
I know the future isn't written in stone..
But I know with your love you will never be alone..

Don't be hard on yourself, Michael. I'm sure your friend will forgive you and at least you still have her love. Beautifully written and very touching. Congratulations! Love, Carolyn

What a sad write this is, Michael but definitely heartfelt-- it sure is painful to lose a friend but I guess that sometimes we seek comfort in the fact that they will be all right-- Congrats on your win and happy to be helpful eyes for you, you know that ;) -- hugs your way, friend :D
