Gemz/ My General
You can annoy me more than anyone I know,
You can stand before me and your acid tongue,
Will rip strips from my battered flesh,
Yet I love you.
I could give many reasons for this,
Many simple reasons that are as self serving,
As to our friendship they are undeserving.
Maybe this boy is learning?
You are my sword and my shield,
You are my armour against my dark self,
And my beautiful support against the world.
You help me walk.
You pick me up when I’m bleeding,
But you offer no pity,
I thank you for that
It means more now than ever before.
You know my pain and my past,
Yet if I mope you bring me up short,
You set me back to life’s task.
Bear with me, dearest, I know it takes a while.
Maybe that’s why I can throw my pain away,
Maybe that’s why I defend you as you defend me,
Because friendship does not ask,
It merely suggests.
And what you suggest, my friend,
This poor and battered boy will do,
Out of friendship, out of love,
Because he sees the beauty of his friend
And he is humbled by it.
Where you lead,
My loyal shield and verbal sword stand,
Ever am I at your service,
My sword and my life,
My wonderful, talented friend.
Where I go now I do not know,
But I smile, I walk in friendship faithful,
In you, because if it comes to it,
I know you will be there.
I give the same as you,
Because what else is there anyway?
You have my love and my friendship.
Even when I’m miles away….
Awwww, thats really sweet! Thank you :)
It's very well written as well, very good.
