The friend
held her hand.
When she cried,
it squeezed
her hand,
once.
When she was alone,
it patted
her shoulder
with
its
hand
once,
twice.
When she was angry,
it
threaded its
fingers
with hers
and
swung their
hands
back
and forth,
once,
twice,
thrice.
And then
she saw
someone
smiling
far
away
that was
holding
out
its
own hand.
So
she tried
to
let go
and
restart.
But
a hand
covered
her
eyes.
And
Darkness
pulled
her
away.
