A Friend

He’s a friend of mine but it’s hard to say who

If you

I’ll contend to do what I must see through

If you let me be helpful

It’s all that I can bear

You’re a friend of mine but it’s hard to say who

Looks like you

Restless and hopeful

It’s hard for me to place

You’re a friend of mine but it’s hard to say soon

I’ll look at you

Jealous and loathsome

It’s wrong for me to stare

You’re a friend of mine

Who

With mother close, you’re dumb

With father froze, you’re numb

I’ll descend to do what I must to get to

The truth

I intend to be who I must to see proof

Of you

With mother close, you’re dumb

With father froze, you’re numb
