In a world of deceit
a true friend
is hard to define
so many have disappointed me
and abused my friendship
but I don’t want to
hold people
to too high a standard
so trust and loyalty are
all I ask
But I think a true friend
is the one who will
stand beside you
at the gates of Hell
ready to help fight your way through
