Poetry: '' Friend" by Janet Olabisi Ogundepo

FRIEND

Friend,

In you, I reflect,

To you, I look.

Serve a pathway to my craved being;

turn me not away.

Friend,

To you, I listen

To you , I tell

turn not deaf ears to me

like my words are breathless.

Friend,

Before you I empty

my abyss of emotions.

Will you please heed

to my yearnings?

Friend,

From you, I learn to lean

On you, I lean to learn.

Will you lend a helping hand?

 Will you heed my heart when in need of placidity,

and not cast me into vociferance?

Will you be there when my soul desires

solitude in the quest for respite?

Will you, through the words of my eyes

decipher that which I cannot utter?

Can you be a friend indeed,

who can help in need?

And when I look all around to find a friend,

Can I find a friend in you?
