Love never ran
deeper or stronger than when
It gushed not
from the fountain of brother nor friend
Love is best
when it falls from the sky, or is found in the sand
Love is best
when it’s mercy from a stranger’s outstretched hand.
Once was a day
when I found myself wanted
Memories good of
my past are now haunted
The hands of a
friend, are twice evil when used
Betraying, to
point and to taunt you, ashamed and abused.
Sadness is
nothing, yet nothing is sadder
Than a person
cast to the wind, as they didn’t really matter
The insufferable
pressure certainly tore me apart
A bitter rotten
apple core, I call it my heart.
Imagine my
surprise, when my “friends” came one day,
About to treat
me like rubbish meant to be thrown away
When you swooped
in and stopped them, after a while
Pulled me back
up to my feet, and then gave me a smile.
It really
wouldn’t have troubled you, only me
To turn around,
to look away, pretending not to see
Lo and behold,
you didn’t, but instead, like a gleaming treasure out of sand
Came to my aid,
called me by my name, and took me by my hand.
