What is Friendship?

I
I'd like to ask a question...

I swear it will only take a second...

What is Friendship?

I often wonder what constitutes a true friendship?

Is it the stripes of suffering that two people bare together?

Or is it a fleeting journey that people determine their level of dedication to based on the weather?

Seriously, I've got to know...

I bought a ticket for some sort of support, but now I'd like to get off the boat...

This friend ship seems to be destined to go the way of the Titanic...

Sinking quickly after outlandish assertions/

my conversion from a true believer/to a discerner of deceivers happened somewhere along the beginning of this ride

Two souls kept afloat on a friendship floating over a sea of lies...


II
Maybe people just change...

Maybe the fact that I haven't is a sign of immaturity...

Maybe the fact that I refuse is a sign of loyalty...

What's maturity in a friendship anyway?

I just want somebody to laugh with/study universal math with...

Start up a business and possibly split the cash with?

Is that too much to ask in...

This preapocalypticneosoulheartlessmindless world?

I guess so...

Can I get a refund for my ride on the "friend ship"?

I damn sure need one...

III

I've always been told that you can't pick your family...

Yes you can...

I swear to it...

I stand by it...

I believe it...

I've seen it...

I've got a few brothers and sisters...

A boat load of cousins...

An ex-girlfriend or two...

A lost love running around...

And a heart capable of holding them all...

Should I free them from the obligations of this journey?

Probably...

Many jumped off themselves...

Wo/Man overboard...

No shouting...

No rescue effort...

No life preserver...

Just man...

And Nature...
