Friends Are Life

I thought I’ll be my deliverer alone

But we came out of the closet

To each other at school

And he still stands by my side

Through thick and thin

And so I’m alive by this mate-ship

I told my best-friend about the crush

I had on my classmate

And she supported me in chasing

That guy at college

Some of my friends aided

In rendering my love letters

By challenging my desires

Of being with another boy

Whenever a new one enters

Or an old one exits

I get a clean slate

To overcome my constraints

And in their absence, I’m a witch-hunter

They wrestle along me

Against I losing love for myself

And parts of my heart turning into voids

And the hatred surrounding it
