My Friend

Be
my friend
it will endure
when fireworks have
drained lustre from my eyes
and wisps of cobweb grey
adorn my thoughts by day.

Be
my friend
it will sustain
when flames have 
burned my dreams to ashes
and the dust of arid tears
grows drier by the years.

Be
my friend
it will prevail
when I know your heart
as you have known my flesh
and you will need my comfort too
as much as I need you
