 Slipping under my skin,
 You were always there,
 A slight pain stabbing in my side,
 An understanding chill,
 Although I held a hatred for you,
 We held an understanding,
 You could probe and play,
 I could throw my anger at you,
 I let you in too far,
 I started to feel your pain,
 We blurred from two to one,
 My calls were then your whispers,
 Your laughs were my cries,
 But sharply you withdrew,
 My comfort disappeared,
 As lonely as I was before,
 The numbness and isolation,
 Sinks into your space,
 A place for rent?
 No one could fill it as you once did,
 I'm not looking for a lover,
 I'm not looking for a friend,
 I need the understanding,
 Of one that's been inside,
 Of one that's seen the destruction,
 I need one that doesn't care,
 You were once that person,
 And in that I saw the care,
 But now your indifference,
 Your withdrawl,
 Scares me,
 I am alone in my silence again.
