Friendly Truth

Being shown how useless life can be, seeing a gnarled old tree standing dead upon the earth like me. Thank God for friends who show and make you face the truth of an aging life. There's no more bargaining to be done, all is gone, it was only empty desire. There's no use trying to succeed, even a close friend sees no more need of it. Pressing you to stay while pushing you away, tells all one needs to know. There are no more episodes left to write, because life is useless and should be put out of sight and mind. That's the truth spoken by a friend as life ends with the love of his.
