Some live a life of silent tears
But they seldom get shown
Hidden in a heart of sorrow
Wishing for a better tomorrow
Their eyes tell a story
That their lips  cannot say in words
Feelings and emotions hidden
Until someone enters their heart
Words then flow from eager lips
Feeling have to be told
To a friend that sits beside them
A friend , welcomed into their heart .

When life is really tough ,true friends talk
When you cant get any lower ,a true friend picks you up
When one retreats to a place of loneliness
A true friend offers company
When one wants to cry , the other offers their shoulder
And if one ever needs to talk , the other will always listen
A true friend is always there for you .

Lines of words appear on my screen
Words created in time of sadness
But my creative mind is in another space
With a friend who suffers in silence
One day the sun will rise
Her worries will fade away,
Like mist on a spring morning
Then her heart will feel the warmth
Of love in beautiful sunshine

I have pictures in my memory
Just like the pictures on the wall
That remind me of a time
When i was happy
Could not fault it at all
But now i ask the questions
What happened to the days of laughter?
What happened to the nights of love ?
Will they ever return to revisit me
And once again put love
In the forefront of my mind .

Life can be so cruel
I understand that so well
But life is for living
We all change with time
Time does do its magic
Calmed hurt in my heart
I learnt to find friends
That made me feel loved
But thankfully i can say
Some things do not change
Kindness never left me
It always stays in my heart

Last night i shed tears
Not for me , but for you
I felt your struggle
I felt the pain
But crying is not a weakness
It’s just an emotional release
A way my heart chooses
To display how it feels

Even though i read your words
It’s not the same as reading your eyes
When i can sit and listen to you speak
Knowing full well you tell no lies
Feelings you hide well behind a wall of words
But your wall is made of glass
Words mean nothing when i see it all
Told in your beautiful eyes .
