Comrades for Life

Saying Goodbye,
to the only man I have truly loved,
is the hardest thing I’ve ever done.
I’ve been through many turbulent battles in my life.
Survived being beaten, deceived, and emotionally drained.

Nothing could have prepared me
for what I am enduring now.
My heart aches of a pain I’ve never known.
My body and soul filled with anguish I’ve never felt.

But yet, a true friend wouldn’t weaken
or desert you when needed the most.
I must be supportive of the decision you have made
to find where your heart is leading you.

You came to me as a stranger
in want of a friend.
I too, so desperately needed the same.
I was empty and afraid.
You were heartbroken and left distraught.

Together we gave strength to awaken each day.
I comforted you with open ears
and shoulder to weep on.
You filled the emptiness that once
hungered to be full.

Now we are comrades in the battle of life.
Being there in all things whether it be
in harmony or disagreement.

If friendship is the only thing I can possess
then that is what I will settle for.
Giving you up completely would take
the very breath that I breathe.

My ears are always open to listen.
My shoulder is always
available for you to weep upon.
My arms are always there to comfort you.

Please my dear sweet comrade,
confront the insecurities in your life.
Be courageous and face the fears
and deal with them.

The battle is not over until
we both find peace and
harmonty in our lives.

We must not let the enemy
named Fear take us prisoner
For freedom will reign with true love.
