Depth Of Friendship

We need to be able to trust and depend

On the people we invite into our lives.

I am not a stranger to betrayal, friend,

So I like to discover each person's drives.



It's depth over superficiality.

Oh, to inject that as from a harmless syringe!

Yes, betrayal has been a reality

But my world does not upon that one thing hinge



And yet that sigh does sound quite melancholy.

Some small thing has prompted this introspection.

To delve into it deeper now is folly

Yet nights like this tend to prompt such reflection.



I've learned that to look to the future is best

And that it's best to take one day at a time

That's why my good time I usually invest

Enjoying where I am. Sometimes it's a climb!



The friends I choose are carefully admitted

To the inner circles of my existence.

The trust we build is in golden hope knitted,

Being chainmail strong, thus having great resistance.



As loneliness stills the laughter of the soul

So true friendship and love bring its revival.

There is no call to feel fragmented. Stay whole.

When we can trust our friends, there is survival.
