You cry softly <br />nuzzle into my neck. <br /> <br />My collar all <br />tears & lipstick. <br /> <br />You tell me everything <br />down to the littlest detail. <br /> <br />I listen <br />& soothe...comfort. <br /> <br />Talk you through <br />all the shit. <br /> <br />You give me a tiny <br />peck on the cheek <br /> <br />Tell me <br />I’m the best. <br /> <br />Cuddle you <br />‘til you fall asleep. <br /> <br />Your hurt <br />hidden now <br />in dreams. <br /> <br />He, your lover <br />somewhere out on the piss. <br /> <br />I, only <br />your very best friend <br /> <br />enduring the agony <br />of loving you.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/your-very-best-friend/
