Just a short poem about friendship... it's my first work and it's just for a bit of fun. All suggestions appreciated!
Young faces bright
Joyful and free
Not a care in the world
You and me
We promised each other
Right there and then
We'd be best friends forever
Until the end
As the years passed by
Our friendship stayed strong
Until that one year
When it all went wrong
New friends appeared
Like flowers from a shop
You picked them over me
Something I've never forgot
I lost you once
I'll lose you again
That's why I'm afraid
For us to be friends
The old house is aging
The owner doesn't care
Life doesn't matter
For the woman in the chair
She sits and she stares
All day at the wall
Nobody knows when
The lady will fall
Her tears are still frozen
Her heart is still broken
Her voice isn't heard
It's been years since she's spoken
Paintings and photos
In frames they appear
All over the house
She's had them for years
Two girls laughing freely
Their faces so bright
Unaware of the future
Their hearts still so light
Time passes quickly
In a world of despair
Cherish what you have
While it's still there
One day she'll die
The woman in the chair
Wishing and hoping
That life was more fair
People are changing
Love is dying
And when they're all gone
I'll still be crying.
