Cater-cousin ... Talk

Today's word is "cater-cousin" ... KEY-ter-kuhz-uh n ... an intimate friend. (Dictionary.com)

Talk
Everybody needs someone,
A cater-cousin or true friend,
To share their inmost feelings,
Who'll be loyal to the end.

Those who are an island,
Surrounded by a self-made sea,
Find the ones they've cast off,
Soon tire of them and flee.

What seemed in the beginning,
A strong and fortressed glory,
Later turns with sad precision,
Into a lonely, broken story.
