For My Best Friend

i know you're tired

of always being the strong one.

always being the only one who puts in effort

for love

 for life

for free. i know.

i know how you feel. question whats real

in life, and whats all lies

but see...

its all a matter of time before you get your chance to shine

and everyone who doubts,

   lights would have surely burned out 

by then, my friend.

i know you're tired, so sleep

rest your heart

because the light always shines the brightest 

on things done in the dark.
