Constant In My Life
Her voice caresses my ear
Like
the Quiet Storm on New York radio
She calms away
my fears
Her love, so
soft, so sweet reaches into my soul
She listens…without judgment, without preconceptions
But for full
appreciation of who I am
She hears the
music between the noise
She sees clearly
beyond the layers of my façade
She has seen me
at my most vulnerable times
When my eyes
weren’t deep enough to hold my tears
She listened to
my heart as it cried
Through the days
and nites, months and years
Friends and
lovers have come and gone
Broken hearts
have taken their toll
Distance and
time have kept us apart
But through it
all,
Her place in my
heart is unquestioned
A friend unlike
any I’ve ever known
To her I’ve
bared my soul
My secrets I
know she will always keep
And for her I
will do the same
Her name is
Michelle, but I call her friend
She remains the
constant in my life
Until the very
end…
