An Ode to a Lovely friend

So whose gonna be there when it hurts
When the time comes to say goodbye and you
can't go on anymore ?

Will you need somebody,
Will there be anybody
who will they take in as much as you do ?

Or will they shake you down and leave you to cry
all by yourself,
For then, I will feel sad and bad.

That my dear boy has given his heart away like a fool,
Without being asked for and asked with
and now he is weeping.

For it hurt him before, but now it bleeds,
for there is a wound that is a thousand years old
waiting to be healed.

Only you can make something beautiful to hold him and
breathe in him while he bleeds
This beautiful story of love and pain, the combination of which
is too heavy to bear.

So when you hear this plea
Send down an angel, a thousand if need be
For your son is hurting and to you he is a telling
and awaiting your company.
