My Old Friend
In my blind spotyou were lurking
In the shade of my painyou were thriving
My old friend
You are backand kickingand in my mouth
words are putting
There isn't much I need
There isn't much I fear
There isn't much I give
When with you my heart is
In the interstices of my thoughtsYou lie
In the in-betweenness of my hopesYou lie
In the truth of my obliterated liesYou lie
My old friend
I've missed your smile
