Your words
depressing me
not so much them
but the way they are said
Making me feel,
a rock coming alive
with longing and passion
and dreams of gold to come true
Not pity
but the deepest regrets
feeling your pain
it overriding my own
So overwhelming
I want to hold you
close to my body
so as never to let go
Keeping you from harm
away from the pain
the sorrow and disappointment
that is called the world
Though separated
I feel so close
two identical souls
trapped not together but apart
Sharing not only thoughts
but the deepest of feelings
transferred from soul to soul
on too many levels to explain
Tears not seen
maybe not even cried
but felt anyway
it's all the same
True friendship is
hard to find but
it is even harder
to find an equal
