Poeme : My Friends

My friends are so depressed.
I feel the question
Of Your loneliness.
Confide… , ’cause I’ll be on Your side ;
You know I will, You know I will.

X girlfriend called me up,
Alone and desperate
On the prison phone.
They want… to give her 7 years
For being sad !

I love all of You,
Hurt by the cold,
So hard and lonely too
When You don’t know yourself.

My friends are so distressed
And standing on
The brink of emptiness.
No words… I know of to express
This emptiness.

I love all of You,
Hurt by the cold,
So hard and lonely too
When You don’t know yourself.

Imagine me taught by tragedy ;
Release is peace.
I heard a little girl
And what she said
Was something beautiful :
To give… Your love,
No matter what.

I love all of You,
Hurt by the cold,
So hard and lonely too
When You don’t know yourself.
