I am asking,
for a friend
how do you get up in the morning
when there is nowhere to go?
I am asking,
for a dear friend
where do you find warmth
when hugs are a threat?
I am asking,
for a really close friend
how do you keep it together
when we must all stay apart?
But seriously,
if anyone wants to connect
I am asking
for a friend.
