The sacrifice of friends

Poetry is an extension of soul. After an emotion baring conversation with a friend, I wrote this. Here is a piece of my soul.

To give until you feel full.
To laugh until you ache.
To cry until you drown.

The sacrifice of friends

The rides that do not end.
The joys of endless hours.
The pain shared in glances.

The sacrifice of friends

Be still as life grabs you up.
Be alive as death stares you down.
Be gracious when your well is dry.

The sacrifice of friends

Carry the weight they cannot lift.
Bear the burdens they cannot speak.
Hold the heart they've dared not share.

The sacrifice of friends
