Ode To Our Friendship.

I wrote this years ago. It was a school project and it's short but it says everything.

I was brought into this life

but you were already here

waiting at my side

like a nightstand

before I woke up.

Time went on and on

and like an owl's large eye

you were always there,

the perfect chocolate chip cookie.

When others were around,

you were no more than

a fierce lion's roar

and alone, you were

the perfect blend

of a crayon box.

All these memories

locked inside this book,

forever to remain there

because of what you took:

the shining light of heaven,

the comfort of my hammock.

All that remains

is the crumbled piece of paper

which holds all reason.

But because of what you have

with you six feet under

I throw the paper

to the devil

so that I can be a bird.
