my pen
when this world brings me down,
and my friends all but forsake me,
when this road i travel leads to a dead end,
when i am so far gone till i need to go home again
when i am so weak till even misery ,
don't wish to keep me company,
when doors i need open,
i reach for my pen,
my lover ,my friend,
and confident
she's the love that knows me,
she's the love that consoles me,
my best friend and confident,
my pen
without her i would go out my mind,
lose my place in time,
she fights my battles,
she wins my wars,
my pen
she knows the words of my heart,
she's my light in the dark,
she keeps me from falling apart,
she my stop when the blues start,
with her it never hurts to cry,
with her she will never leave me by the wayside,
my pen,my pen,
Thu thick and thin we have been lovers and friends,
without her i have no past present nor future ,
her love goes beyond any measure,
she knows all my secretes and buried treasures
talking bout my best friend,
my pen,
talking bout my lover,
my confident,
what a comfort to my mind,
when my heart she recites,
she always knows the words,
to make me feel better,
she knows how to relieve all my pressures,
take away the stress that life so often throws
i can't imagine life without her,
my pen is my friend,
lover and confident,,peace WISEMANSPEEKS COPY@RIGHTS08 - Website:
