I Only Make You Smile

I Only Make You Smile

I see the way you smile  and  dance,
and I ain’t lying when I say I’m in a trance.

But I don’t resent when I’m in the zone,
being friends with you keeps from being alone.

It hurts when you pass me by,
but I’d rather see you happy over feeding me a lie.

If I have to be your friend,
then my shoulder I will lend.

For you to cry all night on,
or just to carry you with till dawn.

I’ll be the best damn friend you could ever have,
because you’re the best damn reason I have,
to stop slitting and cutting my pain away by the days.

With the blade another forged,
that you took and shook hands till the brands of the past
were nothing and they won’t ever last.

Not with one who rates above the scale and is lower to none,
If I ran out of rhymes I’d become a pantomime and dance my way back
into a trance inside a zone where I’ll never be alone.
