You have become a part of my life,
comforting me in times of stress,
in times of laughter,
in times of regress

AT midnight when i seek you, you are always to be found.
When i am bored you are always around.
You are never far from my mind,
you come off as being quite kind.

then when i saw we were becoming too close.
I tried to pull away,I saw in strength you had the most.

I tried to be gentle, giving in, in small ways.
Then i saw a bigger price may have to be payed.

I started to shut the door in your face.
You said, 'but i have always had this place'!
I replied, but now it is time you see,
you must give it back to me.

There is not room for us both in here.
In fact,you must leave, though it pains me my dear.

I can run freely, move faster, alone.
Having you with me is like being tied to a stone.
So now our relationship must end,
though you have always been like a friend,

You, food, a necessity in times of need,
have taken over my life, not a kind deed.
though i may have need of your strength, and nutrition so great,
as a companion, never more you will rate.
