Of Friends and Foes

Friends, funny things. You expect them to be there for you when you need it most. Sadly, I found out the hard way, it often doesn't work that way. False friendship is worse than none at all.

Circumstantial friendships,

Draw blood with blunted teeth,

Eat deep inside my coffin walls,

Live long inside my grief,

Enchanted distributor,

Spill vicious lies and bile,

Wait patiently destroyer,

For painted lips to smile,

Illuminated wonder,

Come shine your light on me,

Give me eyes to breathe again,

And a heart so I can see.

A butterfly on a string, dreaming of escape, that would be me.
