A Friend's Lament
Eyes of darkened chocolate
hair, a ruby red
she's beauty incarnate
my wonderful friend
The greatest thing about her:
her radiant heart and soul
I wish I could get over you
these feelings take their toll
Her laugh, the sound of angels
her smile, a crescent moon
her entire being is so divine
I wish that I could make her mine
But she is with another
and I wish them all the best
for I truly love her
more than all the rest
I want her to be happy
and don't think that she'd be
if I ever had the chance
for her to be with me
So I'll stay by the side
and keep being her friend
for though I am heartbroken
I'm with her till the end
