that_friend
once again The one you've known forever, or so it seems. The one who's always there, even when they're not around. The one you get and never understand. That friend you cross the lines with, that friend who brings you back. That friend who brings you chicken soup and says get your ass out of bed. That friend you can't forget, who never leaves your head. That_friend. 030830

nom i did't feed when it was hot and no rain to nourish
that friend who wrote and i never wrote back
that friend i could never stop writing to
the friend i always needed
that friend who i'll never see again
the_one who was there for_me even in the moonlight that_night
the dance when_i was crying and nobody_else could find_me
that friend i_was forced to defend
the one i was too shy to phone

that one i couldn't keep


that friend another one i don't know
i've pushed them all away
there is nothing so biting
so savagely hungry
as wanting to be alone
and then finding yourself there
so cold the heart an empty home
names remembered
scratches on gravestones
