Snakes


This is a poem about friendship and loyalty

Those who are true never leave

But the snakes pretend 

to make you believe 

Until the day it comes 

it's you that they don't need

You sit in a room by yourself

On your heart where the pain is felt

You cry out loud feeling betrayed 

Think about the time you've been fooled

While they went out to celebrate 

Wipe your tears and pack up them gears

Shoot em in their face without no fears
