My pal,
he eats my transgressions
without a thought
he leaves me shivering
in the cold moonlight
waiting for the dew to evaporate against the sun
My best friend
he is my savior,
my hope & tongue
that clicks lovingly against my wall
that trembles at the thought of judgement
I stand guard
beside my sweetest friend
the one that devours,
no questions asked,
when you meet your end
