My imaginary friend
Lives in my heart
And in my mind
We have been friends from
When I was maybe five?
For when kindergarten rolled by
And time to sleep
Quiet time would arrive
And this was serious
One must follow the rules
And that would include –
No talking or laughing or playing the fool
Imaginary friend would knock on my door
And we could spend time together, hours galore
Friend forever for this I know
In my quiet times and all alone
Friend will be there for me
Hoping to keep me company
I love my friend and she loves me
But I cannot share her name
She has a beautiful name and a short one too
But I would never betray her like that
This is the only time I’ve ever acknowledged
Or spoken about
Or given a voice to
My beautiful sweet darling
Imaginary friend!
That was very touching, and I love the idea of not betraying her because it gives her a solidity and validity she might otherwise appear to be missing.
