For You, My Friend

Be it in times as onerous as these,
Where doubt and deceit curdle in thy mind.
Fleeting emotions in thy throat do seize,
A true friend will not be hard sought to find.

Despair does wash over thy dismal face,
And objects of contempt give false allure.
Instead rely on friends tender embrace,
For times of woe are quick fixed by this cure.

Seek not harmful ways to escape the pain,
Ignore the untruth, turn face from judas.
Then you will see only true friends remain,
To stand with thee till tribulations pass.

Give thy trust for on me you can depend,
Through thick and thin this friendship will not end.

Always here,
~Chiko.
