My Friend

Life has drained itself out of me
I feel tired.
I feel inside me, hollow, empty spaces…
Waiting for life
or else…
Fatigue will seep in.

I lay on my bed
Face down…
Eyes closed from this world
and ears shut, with force.

And as I gasp for breath
the phone rings and its you.
Your turn to share news today,
and my turn to feel helped.

And as goodbyes, are exchanged
I feel I am back, that I can sense.
Life beckons me, thank you dear.....
for helping me cheat, death once again.
