This Is Not A Friend

This is not a friend...

One who wants to marry HIM only after they've had their fill of THEM.

One who's soon to be engaged, says yes because HE's "unavailable"

One who doesn't think of you and accuses you of the same in defense.

One who has a someone, but wants a someone else... and takes both... but someone is left blind.

One who keeps you around because they can't find better.

One who wants you to have it all... as long as they don't want it too.

One who takes more than their share and is insulted if you take notice.

If you have one... and I find one... why can't I keep it?

If you have one, there are only two, and you want another... I must be out of luck.

If you have HIM and you want he who I so long desire... I should back down.

But this is not a friend...

One who argues...

One who's jealous of every nothing you have...

One who must take every something you might obtain...

One who makes you wrong in all your rights...

One who uses their "rights" to make all your actions wrong...

If I try to walk away I'm wrong.

If I stand up to what you say I'm wrong.

If it's not done in your way I'm wrong.

If it's my favor and your dismay I'm wrong.

Does this sound like a friend?

I just can't win this either way

Go or stay to my dismay I end in tears.

I will not start this year dry eyed

to say the very least I tried at "cheers"

I'll paint my smile and shade my eyes.

We'll get along as long as lies tie close.

But this is you...

This is you... and you're my friend...?
