It is constant and consistent, it keeps it's commitment, it forces me to the floor, I thrash and writhe till I wake no more, but it is always with me, as a best friend should be.
I roll on the carpet, semi-aware, I cannot stop it, it tears at my face, my skin, hard to find a trace, but it is always with me, as a best friend should be.
It keeps me from sleep, sometimes I weep, three hours a night, it has great might, but it is always with me, as a best friend should be.
It keeps me from eating, I hear a loud beating, it tears me apart, as it exerts my heart, but it is always with me, as a best friend should be.
It burns right through me, in places x-ray can't see, like a red hot knife, as I ponder taking my life, but it is always with me, as a best friend should be.
It destroyed my family, I did not see, walked away, my wife, ruined my life, but it is always with me, as a best friend should be.
Today, lonely days, monotonous are my ways, always lonely nights, no longer willing to fight, but it is always with me, as a best friend should be.
I wouldn't expect anything less, from My Best Friend.
