Come in my friend
Stay with me awhile
Through the ticking moments
Adding up to hours
Be my shield
When hurt is near
Hide my heart behind yours
Cushion the pain
Be my door post
Let me lean upon your strength
As I weary and stumble
Lest I fall
Into an endless pit
Of hopelessness
Alas, hear the porch steps creaking
Help me with the fear
Are you battle ready?
The time is nigh
When friendship is tested
For durability
For nobleness
Be my Knight
Advance forward, as I cower
Worn and weary
Look, see the door nob turning
Stand in the gap
'Twill it be too much to ask
Of a friend?
May I rest as a babe in Mother's arms
Knowing, now, you are here?
Slowly, oh no, 'tis opening
Quickly, before I melt,
Extinguish the flame of sorrows
Ignited by shadows of hurt
Formulating into what is
Soon to be within
Now, feel its approaching?
See its shape
Know the culprit?
Turn it away lest it overcomes
What I am, what you are, what we can be
Allow no mercy, dear friend
For another day...I shall not see
If...hurt....remains!
