Slipping me away from you
"Oh it doesn't matter how you hide
Find you if we're wanting to
So slide back down and close your eyes
Sleep a while
You must be tired... "

Etymology

I should be writing my etymology essay on the word narcotic. Screw it.
I should be concentrating. Not happening.
I shouldn't be writing this. I don't care.
But I'll finish what I've started. Because I can't go back.

I'm scared. Scared of what I'd say and how I'd feel afterwards. Afraid of a friendship that means so much in danger. Horrified of how to go about things. Fearful of the consequences, frightened of the result. 
It's like being scared of the dark. Not knowing what's around. Clumsily looking for something sturdy. Avoiding things that could strike fear in any way.
Or maybe it's like being scared of death. Not knowing what is going to happen. Having no proven idea of how things work out. Things can go straight to heaven, or straight to hell. It's all how you went about something. In death's case, it's life.
But this is only a part of life. So what are the consequences? Are they worth it? Or can I do something to save a friendship I hold close.
