The False Friends

-

 They laid their hands upon my head,

They stroked my cheek and brow;

And time could heal a hurt, they said,

And time could dim a vow.


And they were pitiful and mild

Who whispered to me then,

“The heart that breaks in April, child,

Will mend in May again.”


Oh, many a mended heart they knew,

So old they were, and wise.

And little did they have to do

To come to me with lies!


Who flings me silly talk of May

Shall meet a bitter soul;

For June was nearly spent away

Before my heart was whole.

Psalm 32 - KJV

-
  The   Lord   is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the  Lord  for ever.

Before

 I ran into my past again A yesterday to see I rain into my memories Before I'd known me Before you were my best friend I didn't have to try Before you chanced your loving heart I hadn't learned to cry Before I learned you loved me And I new I loved you too Before my heart was broken Which I never though you'd do Before I learned that I could live Without you here for me Before I moved on from you For we'd lost it all you see Before I missed your friendship After months of so much more Before I learned the worth of it When I was hurt and sore Before I managed to stay calm When I ran into you Before I worried afterwards Had I done what I should do Before tonight I glimpsed there What we had before the end I hope that we can rebuild that For I love you as a friend. ~~ Justine Lescrocort
