Sometime Friend

2006. Written out of frustration. Not been revised since back in the day, ;)

Sometimes you need a friend,

And sometimes that's all you ask God to send.

Does he have another friend to lend?

 

Sometimes there are people

You are friends with from the get- go,

Others you would have been,

But you hated them because

Of what you heard from

Another friend and their kin.

 

These friends should keep their problems,

They're not mine! If they would have,

Everything would have been fine.

That friend with problems is gone,

And never got to know the friend I have to lose.

 

Oh, what horrible repeating news!

Sometimes the people,

Just don't understand what they're doing;

So, down my sadness I shall lay,

But the people with never pay.

 

Sometimes I would think about it,

But never really ask about it,

And now the people are bored,

And came up with exactly my mind had procured.

 

Friends are not free, now I see,

But it never is about me.

Sometimes that friend comes in odd ways,

Sometimes you never get to tell them your apology,

What you wanted to say,

Only because they leave

As suddenly as they appear.

 

Suddenly the world isn't so clear,

The change is near.

Sometimes that friend cannot stay where they are,

And, if they can't, God, please don't let them go far.

Because, Lord, sometimes I just need a friend!
