Just a friend

You said hello and passed me by

Unable to see the tears or hear the sighs

For what is in me cannot see

You passed me by and quickly flee

A friend that’s all I mean to you

A listener to troubles, and a sister too

I tried and tried to feel the same

I utterly failed, love is to blame

Look my beloved friend into my eyes

And you’ll discover what kind of lies

 Lies I invented to hide how I feel

The lies which stopped me, in front of you, to kneel

Time will show you the truth one day

With a cold farewell you’ll go your way

God call me instead of him

All is silent, dark and bare

All looks vain, nothing seems fair

Nature is sad and so my heart

I should not have lived from the start

But God Breathed in me life

He made me struggle, fright and strive

In all those battles, I utterly failed

And now all is gone, everyone sailed

Sailed with a friend or even a lover

Leaving behind them a still dark cover

God! Pity your miserable child

Take it to you, away from human sight

Take it to you, it might find rest

For in heaven there is no I and you, east or west

All is one spirit, all is one soul

Ask for me God, instead of him, just call …

Friendship

Friendship is the coming in of love, when everything else has gone.

It is a battle between a sword and a cross one seeking to hurt, the other to heal.

It is the determination to believe the best when the worst has been rumored.

It is the hailing of success without envy that may come to one we love.

It is forgiving a hurt without demanding an apology, and the keeping of affection in spite of misunderstanding.

It is asking for a privilege to serve without counting cost or demanding a reward.

It is closing the eye to ugliness, the ears to discord, and opening the inner eye and ear of the heart, which understands rather than sees or hears.

It is to ask “what can I give” rather than “what shall I receive” …

You left me...

 

Just like a dream you went away

Without a tear to shed, a word to say
Leaving deep pain scars on my face
Pains not experienced by any of the human race

And I tried to kill the love in me
Tried to stop the tears that could fill a sea
But the love in me grew more and more
The tears failing to wipe the pains I bore

The years passed by so empty and cold
Everything was over, my story was old
Alone I have to bear the bitter pains
For my soul still lingers to yours in everlasting chains

Your love gave me joy and pleasure
After it had been my only treasure
But all this has been long ago
For you have changed
I know,
I know …
