Just Be A Friend

Have you ever seen a candle melt
wax dripping down its sides
imagine how the nightfall felt
when the darkness faded
and dawns hues
pushed it from the sky.

What can it be now – but trapped
on the other side
what will its future be
when everyone can see
that it clearly has its faults.

Don’t run away - stop pretending
forget all these airs - it’s alright
be who you are – be the darkest night.

When morning comes
bow your head –
and whisper to the wind
say goodnight to the stars
and blend with the sun –

Just be a friend.
