Hello My Old Friend

Hello, my old friend... Did you miss me? It seems like forever since we last met like this Hello, my old friend... Did you miss the warm touch of my skin? I missed the way your cool lips feel against my wrist The little nip and nibble as you let out my demons Did you miss the ribbons of blood that run through these veins? I know I missed you. Hello, my old friend... You want to help me get through this? Thank you for listening No one else does No one else helps Nor would they even know where to begin. You're the only true friend I have Hello, my old friend... Did you miss the fragile veins in my wrist? You once said they reminded you so much like twigs trapped under ice... So please, friend Bite down and snap a few twigs here or there. Hello, my old friend... Like a doctor you cure my pain You know exactly which areas to touch and to tease Hello, my old friend You're the only one who listens You're the only one who knows how I really feel and you're the only one who knows the temporary fix To what aches and ails me Hello my old friend Did you do something new? I noticed the shine and the gleam in your eye You're looking pretty sharp these days Hello, my old friend Hello my razor blade Goodbye thoughts and goodbye pain Good bye voices in my brain.
