For I Am Your Friend Poem by bluebabe 8786

When you are with me
You could feel as prisoner…
Feels who has been declared innocent,
For you do not have to be on your guard…

I understand those contradictions in your nature
That led others to misjudge you…
You can avoid your little vanities
For I am your friend…

I am like fire, water, and wine…
Fire that purges all you do,
Water that cleans all that you say,
And wine that warms you to the bone…

I am your friend—in need and in deed…
The one with whom you dare to be yourself…
You can neglect, abuse, and tolerate me;
Best of all, you can keep still with me…
