A Better Friend
T J Rintoull

Do you ever look inside and find

The turning of an ivory tide

The loss of life and love and fear

The feeling you’re no longer here

.. ..

Do you ever look inside to see

The chains are broken you are free

The heart is open spewing blood

The tears are falling like a flood

.. ..

Do you ever look outside and know

The time to leave the time to go

The first foot forward should be now

The world around is falling down

.. ..

And did you look around to find

That nothing isn’t so unkind

That no-one is no bitter end

And solitude’s a better friend
