Okay, not your typical much loved murder mayhem and general grossity (I invented that word just now , I think) that I know you guys are so fond of, but this was inspired by a friend from my forum that wrote --

"As the rock spins 'round once again
It's the blessing of prosperity to
those who call me friend."--pontic

I thought it appropriate to say here also as I've made many friends here, too. And I'm so glad to see new goodies to read and critique ! Keep up with the writing !! And if it's any consolation for the sentimantality I was listening to "In My Time of Need" by Opeth when I was writing.
Happy New Year to all.

"Friends"

What an array of friends I have
More than I dreamed there would be
Some that I see that are right beside me
And some that I've yet to meet

Some are on top of the world where it's cold
And some are south where sun shines
Some near the ocean, some near the peaks,
But all near the heart of me

BJH

i felt so lonely
i had no one i considered my friend

i sit here thinking
thinking and crying
remebering all the good times we had
my fuckin head hurts
it feels like im dying
though i feel i should be glad that
i had someone whod be there when i needed a shoulder
people who listened when my life was hell
persons who made me fell whole lots better
now i have to bid them farwell
i just wanna say thank you
for all the times you guys were there
all the times you listened
even when you didnt care
ill love you guys forever
that i guaruntee
cus if it wasnt for my friends
