The misery of a friend.
A strange thing, is it not?
Do you comfort them?
Do you push them to move on?

There is a third way.
Use a knife.

    The third is an unorthodox way to ease a freind’s pain!

    Well, they won’t feel any pain afterwards. And there’s no need to listen to them whine, either.

    Of course, one pain drives out another.

    It’s only a very brief moment of pain, and if you use the knife right, they’ll barely feel a thing.

    I suppose it all depends on whether they are willing to help themselves.

    Interesting and poetic flash. Not quite haiku, but in that vein.

    I think by the time you’ve gotten to this point, there isn’t much thought of them helping themselves.

    And I wrote a lot of this style in one night (about 10). They’re easy if the mood hits me.
