I realize this is far more depressing than my personality, but it just sort of came to me. I thought I'd share, since someone told me I should show my writing. :/ Critiques are welcome. This is for my friend.
I'll Be Your Sun
Pain and misery was your life story
So I will not give another silly allegory
Claiming that time is the ultimate cure
That causes your pain to lessen and blur
You suffered inside all alone
Hardly ever uttered a groan
Hiding away all of your pain
Because you knew in the end there would be nothing to gain
So long your life was led in the dark
Your outlook must have only seemed stark
How lonely all that suffering must have been
Just running and running and running and then…
Out of the fog I extend to you my hand
Offering you a lifestyle of a different brand
Lend me your friendship and come with me
I’ll take your pain and set you free
Every blue Monday needs its antidote
Let me be your Friday that helps you to cope
Even the sun can’t always shine bright
While it battles the dark in a never ending fight
So I’ll help be your sun and show you the way
Just take my hand, and together we can face a new day
You may have moved on, but your spirit remains
I think of you always, but most when it rains
The drops are like tears that you never would shed
And the winds are the whispers that you never said
And though I tried, I could not be your sun
But our times together were always such fun
My hand is still raised, waiting for yours to clasp
For someday we will meet again, this wasn’t our last.
