Who
To that friend new or old who always seems to be there.
Who will be the one to pick you up when life seems to tear you apart
the one that will mend the bruises on your battered heart
they keep you from sinking into A place of shattered light
and they are not afraid of taking on your fight.
Who will stand by your side when others fail to commit
the one that will tell you the things others are afraid to admit
they stop you from making yourself an object of sacrifice
and they make you feel like you were living in the comfort of paradise
who is the one that never leaves your side
the one who knows all the secretes you hide
they call you on the lies and comforts your fears
and they help you deal with all of the pain and dry’s all the tears
Who has never let go even when the path is painful
the one person in life that never makes you feel shameful
they pick you up when the outlook is lost and shaded
and holds you up even though you are faded
Who is this person who caries the keys
the one who can unlock your hidden pleas
they make you their first even though they too may be lost
But they hold you and love you no matter the cost
Who? you may ask is that Person to you
The one who’s loved you through and through
they guide you past the fakeness of today
and they never are the one’s to turn and betray.
Who is this friend but A friend we love and claim
the one who tends to not cast but rather take the blame
They feel sorry they cannot fix the shattered hurt
but off their back they will give you their shirt.
This friend I say thank you to you who ever you are
For friends like us have gone so far
In a life of struggles but still happiness shared
because you my friend really always cared.
