Some of my best friends I've found in my darkest times When all the ones you felt closest to Have slipped away The true ones show. They reach out to the depths of your heart Like a blanket of comfort Shelter from the snow And cradle us with kind words, With sincerity. And that's how you know That even when the rain falls And you lose all hope They will not stray like lost sheep They will cling like leeches And **** the poison out.
