friendship

it just occured to me that

no

we cannot be friends

because you have not held up your end of the bargain

it seems like you don’t know how to be my friend

or what my needs are for friendship

i cannot cal to talk to you

see or be with you when i want to

share poems or pictures of good fun times

not with you

you no more ned my companionship

than you needed my love

and i never made you out to be a liar/

scientific proof that i am a very gullible wench

no

i do not believe that we can be

friends

the love runs too deep and i hurt

and the hurt urns deep

like the love i feel

the love i give

the love you don’t need or want

or even accept freely like a gift

i still love you

and would do anything for you/

like give you up

easily

w/out a second thought/

but then

what are friends for?
