~ FIRE ~

How could you leave me,

Out here on the ledge.

After all we gave,

And all that we had pledged.

~*~

Do you still remember me,

Our souls we laid so bare.

Not one single secret kept,

Of our past we did not share.

~*~

I spoke of things,

No one else could know.

Such understanding that you gave,

You were something to behold.

~*~

Then you never said a word,

Just put out the fire.

Left me crying in the night.

Pricked like a barbed wire.

~*~

So I will pick up my heart,

Place the pieces where they go.

For in my secret garden,

Is a place no one will ever know.

~Jan~

Whenever your spirits are in the dumps
And your down to your last dime,
The smile and pat on the back
Will lighten your mood just in time.

That's Friendship!

When your sitting at home all alone
And the phone rings late at night,
Then your pal says,"Lets go out"
And drives the loneliness out of sight.

That's Friendship!

Or three in the morning, lonely road
A flat and you have no spare,
Your buddy shows up with a tire
Sleep in his eyes and uncombed hair.

That's Friendship!

Your in the hospital and very ill
She comes and sits by your side,
She'd asked a friend to bring her
And she has to leave for her ride.

That's Friendship!

But your heart flames with passion
As her beauty rushes through the door,
And when he leaves, you are doomed
His memory with you forever more.

That's love!
