Friend

I was never true friend to YOU.
How could I be?
What with all of my hiding?
Hiding in dark places and
Playing there with others
Seeking to do the same.

YOU were only the One
WHO

For a few brief moments
Took from me
The nagging
Remembrance of the
Shame and
The ragging tagging of the
Blame game.

That sounds like
Jesus

Christ!
What a friend
By any name.
