A Friend's Love
By Jacquilyn Flory
No one really knows
What kind of bond we share
And even if I told them
They probably wouldn't care
You are very dear to me
I hope you know it's true
And now that you are sick
Tell me what that I should do?
While you've been gone
A part of me has been lost
It's like I've taken our friendship for granted
And now I'm paying the cost
I never knew how much you meant to me
Until you went away
The thought of you being really sick
Haunted me every day
I spent a few days at school alone
And my weekend was such a bore
A lot of my time was spent in my room
I think my mom's ready to break down the door
And now I make this vow to you
To keep until the end
I'll help you through the pain and tears
Until our rivers bend
So if you ever need someone
You know just who to call
I'll be here by the phone
To catch you if you fall
".....ready to break down the door"This is a hyperbole. The author uses it to exaggerate the time spent in the room.
I like this poem because it shows a person's care and concern for a friend. It shows how close the two are. The words used in the poem express the author's life without her friend, the vacuum in her life without her friend. She was ready to help her friend in any way she could. She realises how much she misses her friend and how much that cost her. There was a strong bond between her and her friend. Her mind was almost in a blank when she realised that her friend was ill. This shows the true, deep friendship between the author and her friend.

Both "rivers bend," and "part of me has been lost" are figures of speech. Can you figure out what they are?
