Bonds of Friendship

alone
everything feels different
joy departs sorrow sends its regards
impending darkness looms around the corner

alone
much less than usual is seen
nothing seems logical nothing is right
imaginations howl like wind in the storm

alone
insecurity reeks all over
threatening are the smirks and ghostly stares
shadows begin to snap at the heel

stand with me
the aura around changes her tune
confidence restored gloom is of the past
beg of you please leave the bright lights shining

walk with me
reassures the heart comforts the soul
blessed the gathered shall be
and shamelessly we'll continue life's journey

together
things will only be better
no path reigns over the bonds of friendship
for you you and you shall be side by side always.

"Don't walk in front of
me, I might not follow.
Don't walk behind me, I might
not lead.
Just walk by my side, and be my friend."

-Albert
