on friendships, upon the loss of a friend dearer to me than life.

thoughts; what are thoughts? thoughts are thousands of tiny pieces of useless information that are arranged in a line. each piece of information is about the same subject or at least similar ones. concurringly, opinions are thousands of thoughts arranged in a specific pattern. different patterns form different opinions: some logical, some illogical.
friendships are made up of many things. from tiny bits of information to thoughts to opinions, all play their respective roles. this arrangement makes a solid one except when division arises. ill will towards very close friends corrupts the mind. while one’s heart and soul may still love one’s friend immensely, the brain becomes focused on dividing the relationship so completely that reconciliation is possible only in rare occasions.
this division starts slowly: a bad piece of information in one area may start the problem. the brain tweaks the smallest of minutia in the memory banks so that one’s heart won’t even notice.
this slight change, however, affects the whole point of thought. it rearranges opinions and works its way to destroy friendships. one picture retained in one’s mind, bent ever so ever slightly, could render the best of friends as ancient history.
“beware of this my request.”
to you, i do so plead
or one day when friends do wrong
your mind will plant a seed.
this seed will grow into your brain
’til no more you can see
a single way to weed it out,
and a “friend-less” you will be.
