In need of help
I had turned to you
And you had proved
A friend so true
A person wise – and so kind
In you, did I, comradeship, find
You told me you were quite alone
None other to confide, none to phone
Gullibly, blindly, I believed in you
I wished and hoped that it was true
I thought, then, that in your need
You’d hasten to me with all due speed
But – neither of your problems you did tell
Nor did you ever, trust me well
To others, who you’d said were not so near
You turned for help – now, that is clear
Even their little help, you must have thought
Was more than the most from me you had got
Strange it is, that unable to aid
I felt it was I, who had betrayed
And yet, if ever you need me while you live
I will, willingly, what you need, give
You obviously want me to leave you alone
This is not your loss – you will not mourn
But I came and begged – and you condescended
But I wonder now if broken ties can be mended?
Your wish and your will, I shall obey
If ordered by you, I will stay away
But do not forget I will always be there
To help you when there is no one to care
So as I’m now of no need to you
You have left old friends to woo the new
May you, every happiness find
And may you get, some peace of mind
But sometimes, if some scraps are left
The old faithful, do not forget
May the future be always kind to you
This is my prayer – sincere and true.
