True Friend

Poet:  Ken Jordan
Poem:  True Friend
Edited by:  Sparkle Jordan
written:  April/2015


I remember,

when 
the light,

in your 
life 
was dark.....

Yes,
I was their,

when 
your whole
world

fell
apart -

I believe 
that,

God

sent me
to 

rescue
you,

from
a raging 
storm -

But,

soon as
the
stormy winds

begin
to
cease,

You 
distance 

yourself
from 
me,

(your only
friend.....)

and

I was
left

standing 
In
the rain.....

You had
to 
leave

this
old place,

for 
a
better
atmosphere.....

Said
you needed
to
meet
new people,

hoping 
for
better days.....

Said
you needed
to
network,

through new 
friends,

and

make
a
brand 
new start -

After
you left,

I said:

"This is not what friends do,
if it's truly friendship
from the heart."

Friend,

I want you
to
know,

that
your leaving,

hurt
me deep
to
my core.

But,

I'm okay
now -

It's
just

the 
way life
goes 
I suppose-

Sometimes
love hurt,

down
to
your soul -

Remember,

I was there
for you -

when your
life
was low -

I gave you
all
that 
I had to
give -

though
you left

without
a
word -

I
was your
rock,

when
the light 
 
in your 
life 
was dark -

Beautifully written poem, Ken! I'm glad I read it. Yes, I try to be a loyal friend to others, too. God sees our faithfulness, even when others bail out on us. God bless :)

oh yes, I understand this one very very well. i have had a number of people, mostly poet friends, just bail on me. Some I have never heard from again. I'm always such a loyal friend. I think some people have no problem at all with simply moving on . I enjoyed this one.
