Ode to a Dear Friend (written for my best friend, Sara)
I sit here on my bed
and wonder if instead
you'd never moved here
a silent tear
drips from my weary head.
I wonder where I
would be at night-
afraid in the dark
alone with the marks
of hatred.
I was scared.
Without you, I was dead.
Now I live, Dear Friend.
With you by my side,
always I will NOT hide.
For you strengthen me,
you help me to be.
