Dedicated to a special friend,


Hurt Friend


Hurt Friend

I do not know how to start
I know I have hurt you so
I cannot concentrate
Can hardly see the lines
I know I am crying
What more can I do
You are precious to me you know that too
Hurt I cause was not intentionally
Your happiness is what I want

We been through some very hard roads
It is not easy to give up now
If I caused you wrong
It is not intentionally
I can see the visions
Of a dead man calling
Noises and whispers I hear behind me
People beckoning and shadows calling
This is my agony
Not for you to share
You have a future
Do not burden yourself with me

If you do good and strike it through
I would be happy too, would be lucky too
I know you have cried
Maybe you still do
I do love you don't shut me out
Not now, when I need you most
My silence at times maybe selfish all right
I am sorry, do forgive
Nothing was done with intent

I am not myself too lately
No not after what I have been through
I was made aware, some time ago
But the trauma still lingers through
With that I got to live and will have to cope
It's my task to do, the night I dread
I may have told you so before
I still see him
Walking, laughing, holding out his hands


I have no friends around these parts
It's only you I got for help
Don't give up on me no not now
I am sorry please do forgive
I am confused with a lot around me
An urge I have
To walk away and be with him
But my spirit just holds me tight
The thought of having someone like you
Is strength enough for me
To grasp again the rest of my life
You have helped me along
I will never forget
Gratitude and thanks is all I have

If it is in my power
To make your life
A beauty, a wonder, a paradise I will
Your happiness is all I want
I am sorry, do forgive
And if I did sound, like an inconsiderate wretch
It is not intentionally
I would never hurt you ever again
I am sorry, do forgive
Do not shut me out, no not now

Not a thousand hurricanes
Can keep me away
If in sorrow or joy, in good times and bad
I am there to fight, and will like hell
I would not let any harm on you
Not now my friend, no not ever again
Let's put this aside
I do not want to cry
I know you do as well
So twinkle those eyes and give me your smile
Your trust is all that I want
