Friend
She fell into familiar arms.
She cried, she screamed, she abused, she used. She explained, at length, the obvious, the previously discussed and the unspoken. She sipped her tea. She insulted, she weeped. For loves lost, for time wasted, for family, for fears. She tried to be calm, she blew her nose. She took off her stockings, she had some chocolate. She spoke with irrational rationality.
She caught her friend.
She held her close, she took the tears, the abuse and she was there. She listened; she discussed the previously discussed and the unspoken. She made tea. She took the insults, wiped the tears. She stroked the hair, and made jokes. She passed the tissues, she wiped the makeup, and she provided the chocolate. And she explained how life was never meant to be rational.
