and to take me away
from all the deceptions
and sweet things said
to lighten my heart
in all its falsehoodness
I long for friends I knew
now blank faces with names
that I could not match to
laughter shared, tears shed
all the things we went through
togetherness now slipped away
I long for love untold
nor given though held
cause things unsaid-however few
brings not always joy
but strife which breaks hearts
such as mine
I live for what is mine
what I have been blessed with
the present-however dismal
is what I will forge my life with
craving for more, yet grateful still
I will build my life honestly
as I always have.
