My Best Friend

I look out the window,
I see the snow falling
My mind races back and forth-
Where are you my friend?

I watch the phone closely-
I walk around the room
Darkness envelopes me-
Where are you my friend?

I burn, I cry, I die
Your thoughts crucify me
Voices chatter in this silence-
Where are you my friend?

I wait, and wait, and wait-
No knocking on the door,
No touch to say 'Love you',
Only pain surrounds me-

Oh Pain sweet Pain
My closest-ever friend-
You've never said goodbye,
You're here to stay.
