A Friend

A Friend

A friend, just a friend

is hurting

Once was honest and pure

is hidden, covered

A friend, just a friend

is hurting

Loved freely, passionate

with sincerity

A friend, just a friend

is hurting

knew the very thoughts

before spoken

A friend, just a friend

is hurting

longs to be happy

again

A friend, just a friend

is hurting

fearful of saying

the wrong words

A friend, just a friend

is hurting

desperate to know

she is loved

A friend, just a friend

is hurting

obedient to please

the one she loves

A friend, just a friend

is hurting

dares not to ask

tears fall

A friend, just a friend

is hurting

to have so much

taken away

A friend, just a friend

is hurting

fearful of sharing

in devastation of losing

A friend, just a friend

is hurting

trying her best

Waiting for just

one little sign

...........But just a friend....................

.....can only remain.....a prisoner ......

of silence
