She knows I stand outside
and feel thoughts ripple underneath my skin,
I've never been able to escape my mind for as long as she has known me
It was the demon that fed my soul
That self serving monster that stalked me
Took me over
Filled me with reason and doubt
Fueled by everything I wish didn't exist....
but does
You can't fight yourself
So I become a child of the stars
Whispering my secrets to their dream filled ears
Consorting with the moon
Night always brought solace...clarity
She knew
because she knew me
Watched me
Absorbed it all
Now we don't even need to speak
The look, stance, words or lack thereof
all signals, answers
She holds them like her own secrets
Deep inside and guarded
Friendship is measured in depth
and she is an endless chasm
Taking everything you can give
and giving everything you can take
at times even pushing you beyond those limits
She sees your masks
Loves your venomous wit
Encourages your kind heart
and instills you with strength
as you would do for her
every moment, of every day....
