My Healer

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I stared at the empty Bottle of rumAnd then at youAnd I knew you were notThe solution to my problemsOn this day That the rain poured On our heads Pools of waterAnd a real friend seemed so far away.I knew looking at you For comfortWas like expecting snow in summer.But it seemed like The only thing to doAnd I knewThat you could neverDry the tearsOf a lonely girl,But you could make them go awayLong enough for meTo get a good night's sleep.
