[hometext] => Who needs friends, anyway?
[bodytext] => I am lost. I reached out for someone. You reached back. I reveled in the contact of friendship. It gave me courage to open up. We danced. The issues many and varied. The affairs of state taboo, As are the affairs of God. Yet, there was much to discuss: Thoughts hidden from others, Feelings expressed to no one else. We laughed, we cried, And even managed to drink ourselves silly. But, when I fell, drowning in the pit, Lost in the darkness of my mind, You withdrew the hand. The easy, casual relationship was gone. It is my fault. I wanted more than you would give. I needed more than you could give. So, I crawled up from the pit, alone. With help from no one, but my small friends. The ones who do not judge. The ones who do not criticize. The ones who have all the time To devote to me all the time I need. The oblivion they share is enveloping. It cocoons me in the warmth of indifference. I do not feel the pain. I do not feel the need. I do not feel the shrug. I do not feel.
