I could use a friend

I could use a friend

I could use a friend right now someone

I can talk to about how I am feeling and

what I should do,and even this and that

but when I take a good look around me to

see if I could find one, what I found was

there was none to be seen, not even a

sound, I even used to have a best friend

once hell we did some pretty crazy things

together but most of all we always had a

lot of fun, she always made me feel just

like I was young again she made me know

that I meant something to her and someone,

so anytime she called I was always there

for her in time of need for anything at all

even it it was just a shoulder to cry on or

a chest to lay, or even making love on the

floor by a fireplace, tears now fill my eyes

whenever I think of her I miss the most her

beautiful smile and her pretty face but even

more if I was having a bad day out of no

where she would lean over and kiss me

then hold me tight telling me things that

I needed to hear, like everything is going

to be alright. I hope maybe one day soon

that we could hang out as we used to

because I really miss her and then I could

finally find the strength to tell her how I feel

and for all the years that we have known

each other filled of fun and friendships,

but most of all for all of those beautiful

memories that over flow of her and I will

last forever in my mind even until the day

I die when God and his angels take me

back home again, so I do want to thank

you for all that you have done for me by

making my heartbeat once again and

dancing with my soul out in the rain while;

listening to my rants and poetry for you

see without all of the time that we spent

together throughout the many years you

have saved me from insanity and made

my life complete.

Poet Richard M Knittle Jr.
