Array ( [sid] => 16681 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => For My Friend [time] => 2003-04-29 01:05:00 [hometext] => Re-post (2002) For a friend who helped me through some very tough times when I seemed to have lost all others. Kind of a "thankyou" [bodytext] => My life has been a lonely one
Filled with pain and sorrow
I often dreamed the day would come
When there would be no more tomorrows

I no longer had the strength it takes
To struggle through another day
I feared I would make more mistakes
and hurt those I cared for along the way

So I locked myself away
and hid from the world again
As though my soul had gone astray
and I caused myself even more pain

But in this time of self-destruction
You fought your way through
blowing away those clouds of confusion
forcing me to admit how much I needed you

It took some time to make me see
That I was not to blame
For what other's had done to me
Or for other's pain

I am sorry that I didn't see
How much I meant to you
I am sorry for trying to break free
Your wisdom is what helped me through...

...I literally owe my life to you! [comments] => 1 [counter] => 270 [topic] => 16 [informant] => Debz [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => FriendshipPoetry )
For My Friend
