A POEM OF FRIENDSHIP1
“Call Me Pythias, Good Damon”2
by ROBERT DAVIDSON3
to escape the prison of my skull
you have become a necessary part of me
lurking on the fringes of my dream4
relationships i find are vast deserts
demanding all, challenging all
and for that purpose we are given one another5
left to myself i become inward, morose
whipped by self-pity's bitter lash
so when the ultimate separateness of soul frightens me
i return gratefully to the sympathy of touch6
a friend of entirely different temperament
becomes a relief from the monotony of personality
a balm for the wounds of human love7
now i know the thoughts of your heart before you speak them
our solitudes broken, you help me find myself
i guard your privacy in fear of my own8

Really, really good.
Only problem that I noticed is that you should capitalize... but thats it, nothing else. Its really deep and good enough for a couple of re-reads. Great job.
