A black cloud of a companion billowed behind
We've spent dinner alone and grew each day beside
His arms were heavy, still held it from time to time
We shared tears as he sings his lullabies each night
My dear friend,
You have been here for so long I can't remember
Embraced me so tightly I kept being smothered
The fear of the lost has shaped you to existence
But now I have learned to acknowledge your presence
Finally, I'm letting you go;
So long, my f(r)iend.
