My Only Friend

In the end, there was only my friend.
One friend to be near me in the end.
A moment of trust, a moment of fear,
Existing for lust, cradled so near;
So close, no one knew but we two:
Was it me or was it you who withdrew?
To stop breathing, to claim a new life,
Brought about at the point of a knife.
Find me now and you find your reward,
Do not cease until I am restored.
Bring about this resurrection in time,
Do not let me exist merely in rhyme.
Touch me, I live on in your heart,
My Only Friend, I am your true counterpart.
