Poem :: A Friend in Need

Dedicated to you, my friend, for being there. Happy Friendship Day! :)

---

It was three a.m. that night,

Months later after that boyfriend fight,

When I didn't know what's right-

I sought a friend,

To help me with my woeful plight.

He was instantly there,

Alongside my demon's lair,

Showing me the genuine care-

I sought a friend,

My worries who would bear.

And so he lent both ears,

To my complicating fears,

Battling my avalanche of tears-

I sought a friend,

The one who says, 'M'dear.'*

He let me rant on for a long while,

Then calmed me down and made me smile,

Biting down the resenting bile-

I sought a friend,

And discarded my trash pile.

No solution he offered for me to heed,

I just wanted a friend, my mind he reads.

And when I was in shit-real need,

I had that friend,

Who's a true friend, indeed.
