Dear friend
do, take a moment
though you are busy
what I have to say
may save your life

Dear friend
listen, just a while
for my heart is open
ready to give you aid
to save you from yourself

Dear friend
you must, there is no doubt
let go of all of this
it is hurting you
and I cannot stand your pain

Dear friend
I implore you
I'm begging you
listen to what I say
your struggle is in vain

Dear friend
let it go, let all of it go
these things you cling to
as though they too
needed you

Dear friend
do not believe their lies
these feelings you have
deep inside of you
will surely **** you

Dear friend,
believe me when I say
that these regrets are worthless
as was everything
which created them

Dear friend
release them to the wild
these bad habits of yours
you are not a nun
let these bad habits go!

Dear, dearest, faithful friend
know that I love you
in all your parts
because you are worthy
and should never be alone

Dear friend,
you are me
and I am you
we are one
in this together

Dear friend
one last time
I will ask that you hear me
for it will soon be too late
and you will be gone

Forever.

It is often said
that I have ascended
beyond the lands of men
beyond anything that can be touched
I do not say this
I don't have to
it is in my eyes
the words I breathe
my very gestures and expressions
I have strength
too much to count
strength of heart
will and determination
justice, honor, dignity
confidence
I am beautiful
successful
warm and welcoming
even to the most grievous of sinners
for we are all the same in my eyes
yet we are not
I will shelter the weak
succor the weary
defend those who cannot defend themselves
My eyes
they burn with an intelligence
yet sparkle with mirth
a knowing mind that understands
the follies of man
frailties of spirit
which lead down dark paths
I have been that being
lost and forsaken
terrified of anything
which was not suffering like me
it is hard to leave behind
for that fear is an addiction
but I am strong
no mere mortal
casting this shadow upon the ground
regal with grace and patience
dignified in quiet understanding
that does not assume
and will never demand
I do not have to.

Lonely people searching lonely faces
Seldom finding what they need
Always walking never sitting
Ceaseless in their misery
You watch them as they idle past
Their eyes cast to the floor
Once again you ignore their cry
As you move swiftly for the door
Everyone wants a perfect world
Where nothing is ever hard
All they want are pleasant things
Ignoring all the endless pain
I say stop this strange insanity
Let go that awful past you hold
For when your hands are finally free
You can begin to work upon the world
Build it beautiful, build it bright
With everything you've ever dreamed
Because that's why we dream our dreams
So that we have the blueprints of life

A knock on the door                            
Sounds in the hall                                              
Footsteps upstairs                          
when you know you are alone
                     A voice you know
                                and cannot place
Half-forgotten faces  
A brief touch  
        The smells
                              Sometimes it's the
      little things
                 that bring back
                             so much.

Let me love you!
To care for you
value you
and everything you do
To be happy in your presence
finding joy in your smiles
Please
let me wash away the hurts
and ease your pains
to help you
support you
always
because that's what love is
friendship
kinship
someone to turn to
when the world seems so lonely

Let me love you
because I want to
because it requires nothing
from you
I don't want anything from you
that's not why I love
I do it
because I am love
living breathing love
and all I want to
is love you
all of you
all the flaws
terrors, horrors, nightmares
you have been
the joys and wonders
that comprise your being

Let me love you
as I was meant to
quietly
shyly
unobtrusively
a warmth
that simply is
and don't worry
I want nothing
from you
except that you
be you
in all that you are
because who you are
is someone worth loving.

You can't go back
it won't be the same
not because it's changed
but because you have.
