Are You My Friends On Poetrysoup

Such an awful day I have a cold.
I wish I could give it away.
To someone special with sympathy.
Although I wouldn't want you to have this empathy.
Outside its a wet cold day.
I have to go out at some point.
Thats the problem with being alone.
No one else to share the load.
Stale food because I wasn't hungry.
Sour milk so no cup of tea.
I dont feel sorry for myself or angry.
Sometimes I should take better care of me.
I knew as I always do not to work on my car in the rain.
my body gets wet and the muscles ache with pain.
I have to have hot baths with showers.
To turn up my body heat. To sweat it out.
And still my nose runs. Sometime it sprints.
I should have shares in tissues I would make a mint.
So if you are true friends here on poetrysoup?
Then you know what do, just take my cold.
Come on now be told and be bold.
Please please take this cold...

Exactly - I don't want your cold but was trying to be nice by not saying you can keep your sneezing and sniffling. I guess that means we're not friends, but if you wanted to be MY friend, you wouldn't want to give me your cold, especially since we've never met. I'm not materialistic and the price of tissues would be inconsequential to me.
