Confidante

I want to be the one you come to

In your time of need, want, pain, and bliss

I want to be the one you trust true

In all times whenever and whatever it is

No matter what, I’ll be here

No matter what they think and say

I’ll never turn my back, my dear

I’ll never leave and walk away

I’m here as long as you wish for me

I’m here each and every step of the way

We’ll fall once, twice, a million times to be

We’ve met and are, now I’m here to stay

As a genuine friend ought

I’m putting my heart and trust in you

Not stressing when we may have fought

Because that’s not all we’ve been through

Each walk down a separate trail

We may seem to split apart and forgotten

But don’t let these illusions blur and prevail

We lasted and shared all treasured and rotten

Decades or seconds when you want to start

I’ll be open and sitting here still

With ready arms and a steady heart

Let your reality, thoughts, and tears spill

Cry and rant until no more can come

And although I cannot do much but listen,

I’ll do what I can to keep hearing your heart’s drum

Because your smile and life makes everyday glisten

With each breath since we met

Our futures have been intertwined

My purpose has been set

Because I’m promising, signed

Hearing I’m your confidante makes my lifetime

And it sets me at ease knowing you’d be mine

Heartstrung (song in progress)

Although you’re no longer by my side

Although we each take our separate ways

Although both take our different rides

Although we’re split in where we shall stay

The two of us, inseparable

The both of us, connected, one soul

The pair of us, twins, identical

The differences, forever condole

Pulling on heartstrings as we depart

Bawling and crying our waterfalls

Held together strong in our hearts

Through our weakened states, standing tall

And we are heartstrung

Bound tight in this song

And we are heartstrung

Flowing with the tears

Each and every step of every day

Turning to my side to discover

Not walking alongside there to convey

That the sight brought upon you shivers

No laughter, no tears, no sharing thoughts

Farewell the midnight phone calls and texts

No guilty ice cream after we fought

Goodbye to giggling over what’s next

Pulling on heartstrings as we depart

Bawling and crying our waterfalls

Held together strong in our hearts

Through our weakened states, standing tall

And we are heartstrung

Bound tight in this song

And we are heartstrung

Flowing with the tears

Days drag on, only seconds gone by

Remembering all the times we’ve shared

The prank calls, oh how clever, how sly

The playground games, running in our pairs

And we are heartstrung

Bound tight in this song

And we are heartstrung

Flowing with the tears

And in our newer lives apart

Know I am a phone call away

And closer, residing in your heart

Any distance can’t cause our bond’s fray

Stronger than any ocean’s power

Nothing brings about our disarray

Picking up on our school days’ chatter

As if it were simply yesterday

And we are heartstrung

Bound tight in this song

And we are heartstrung

Flowing with the tears

And we are heartstrung

Tighter than this song

And we are heartstrung

Always both along
