True Friend

It's late at night
I cannot sleep,
I lay up thinking
Cant make a peep.

I think about my life
And how it has unfolded,
I think about the gods
And if they have retold it.

The way I was
The way I am,
All so different
From when it began.

It was all better
When I was young,
A bright little girl
Without a sharp tongue.

I'm older now
and I can see,
how certain events
have affected me.

I miss him so
Its unbearable,
Trying not to cry
Is like a paper that's untearable.

My life is filled
With sadness and sorrow,
I don't see how
I'll get through tomorrow.

Then I think of you
My friend, my life,
You help me to forget
My sadness, my strife.

You take away my pain
Make my world bright,
You are my guardian angel
My forever shining light.

Thank you for staying
Through thick and thin,
Thank you for helping me
To live again.
