If This Is Friendship I Don't Want It
I know your deepest secrets.
Do you know mine?
I know when you are happy
And when you are sad.
Can you tell the same for me?
I know your favorite moments
And the ones where you felt like you would break.
Are you capable of pointing out mine?
I have helped you rise from the suffocating darkness
You have enflicted upon yourself.
Have you done the same for me?
I have listened when you needed me
Comforted you
And told you what you needed to hear.
But when I come to you its
"I've been through the same,
You'll live." or
"Stop complaining.
Go get a life."
Here you stand before me again
Spouting a random tale
And expecting me to praise you.
This time I won't say anything
I'll walk away
And say "hello" to someone new.
You look at me expectantly,
A smile on your face
I panic, nod and smile back.
I'm fine
Thanks for not asking.
