Friend

You've been the only one

whose been there

Through thick & thin

Walking beside me 

Always reassuring me 

That i can crash into you 

Any time i need to

I can take you for granted

I can use and throw you

You dont judge me

You accept me as who i am

and who i'm not

Your silence reveals profound lessons

You let me fly in my mind

And when the need arises

You bring me to my knees

You know my truth

You know my lies

You bring out the tears

To soothe me

Youre my blessing

Youve been my curse

You brought out my insanity after all

You unleashed my demons

forcing me to confront them

You exploit my fragility

You slap me in my face

You're my biggest ally

Youre my partner in crime

You boost me up

You shame me

Whatever you do

You bring me closer to myself

You watch over me

But never question my freedom

You keep my insides churning

My heart aching

So it never forgets to beat

You make me feel guilty

But eventually forgive me

When the realisation dawns on me

You're harsh

You dont mince words

I'm no longer afraid of you

People often ask me if i have ever commited to anything in life

Yes i can sheepishly say-

Ive been commited to

Running away from you

Except when i steal brief moments of you and turn into a melancholic poet

I'm sorry,

i havent valued you enough

please lets give it another try

Im sure we'll learn to enjoy each others company

Come embrace me

Come lets have a drink,

a smoke, together

Come my solitude

lets be friends again...
