Array ( [sid] => 12984 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => quicksand of hope [time] => 2003-02-19 21:20:00 [hometext] => this dedicated to a good friend of mine ..his story
life is much more interesting with you in it [bodytext] => i trusted you best friend
you cast that friendship
with betrayal into the garbage
my partner ,my lover ,my all
you changed that love
from an oasis to a desert
work colleagues
you wear two faces
one showing friendship and trust
other was like i was dust
family of mine
you showed your mettle
in my hardest of times
cast out like leper
when i needed you most
man of god when i turned to you
you with no time
cause you were late for a meal
strong drink and the pills you are my comfort now
you will ease all my worry and woe
the silence of death will comfort me now
life is a quicksand that sucks you down
when you reach the bottom there is only
one way to go
but then you came without even a thought
strong arms wrapped around me so gentle and kind
god my only true friend
