"True Friend" by Aris Balu

Going somewhere?

Perhaps I could walk there with you

For the bright blue sky has left, along with it, darkness arrives

What, you don't need my company? 

Am I not strong enough to conquer the night? 

Oh I see, the beast doesn't want me to be near you

It whispers a beautiful lie, that only in solitude can your light be bright enough against the cruelty of life

For you, it's telling the truth

For what is a friend if all he ever give you is betrayal

What is love if no one dares to reach the void and pull you out of it

Desperation is the language of the beast, I have no rights to tell you otherwise

But if you want to give me a chance, let me know

For the beast is the friend you created, I am hope, the one exist since the day your mother dreams of holding your arms

I shall wait for the day you accept my offer

When you realize the blessing of living for others, the sacrifice needed to pay your enemy with sincerity and kindness,

I will be there
