The Heart of a Friend

you can't move around you're afraid you might trip over all of the baggage in the cartons that ripped you can't see the light if your darkness won't end but you can find peace in the heart of a friend you can't catch a star in the clouds of the day you can't move the boulders that get in your way you can't read the signals in the lights on the street or read all of the people that are not indiscreet you can touch the small screen and still lose your place you can touch my heart without touching my face you can travel the back roads without getting lost you can settle here and lose all of your ghosts you can placate your life and bring down those walls you can cry in your dark or run screaming down the hall you can stand the comparisons and the judgements that will come from the ones that don't care and live their lives numb you tossed out the love of a heart that was true but retained all the links that connect me to you it all intertwines with the thickest of ropes that will sustain all your life and salvage all of your hopes you can find your peace and all that matters most in this that won't end in the heart of a friend
