Poetry Of A Borderline

love and loss

In the tapestry of life, there exists a thread,

Woven with strength, compassion, and stead,

A thread of friendship, unbreakable and true,

Binding hearts together, in all that they do.

Through the storms of loss, through the tears of pain,

A best friend stands firm, a guiding flame,

In the darkest nights, in the loneliest hours,

Their presence shines bright, like a field of flowers.

Through the echoes of violence, through the scars unseen,

A best friend offers solace, a sanctuary serene,

Their words a balm, their touch a healing grace,

A pillar of support in a tumultuous space.

In the aftermath of trauma, in the aftermath of grief,

A best friend remains steadfast, offering relief,

Their empathy a beacon, their love a shield,

In the battlefield of life, they never yield.

They listen without judgment, they hold without restraint,

Their kindness a refuge, their compassion a saint,

Through the trials and tribulations, through the uphill climb,

A best friend walks beside you, throughout space and time.

They see your strength, your resilience, your inner light,

Amidst the shadows, they help you take flight,

They celebrate your victories, they share your pain,

In sunshine and rain, their friendship remains.

So here's to the best friend, the rock, the anchor,

Whose presence is a gift, whose love is a canker,

In the tapestry of life, you are a vibrant hue,

A testament to gratitude, a bond ever true.

For through loss and through violence, through trials untold,

You stood by my side, a hand to hold,

In the depths of despair, in the face of the storm,

You were there, unwavering, a beacon warm.

I am thankful for you, my best friend so dear,

For your unwavering support, your presence so clear,

In the journey of life, in its twists and turns,

You are the one for whom my heart forever yearns.
