Let's Be Friends

Let's be friends
Best friend
We can skip
And play
Together we'll watch
Our worries fade away

Never mind that they remain
Stark
Like black on white
Impossible to hide
Like a flashing neon sign
Blaring in the night

Forget that we were
Hot, cold
Those things won't be told
We'll be
Cheery and happy
Denying reality


Just realize
I'll shut down
When you forget to come around
In your honesty
And my own sanity
Is at stake

My own precious feelings
Mean little to others
Who want to mess around
Because I am the friend
You can crush into the ground
Then revive as you please
Simple, with ease

So if I break
Like snapping a twig in two
It means nothing
To you, you, or you
I am disposable
You can recycle me
Again and again

I am here for you
Disregarding what I need
Or want
Because this power you have
You take advantage and flaunt
In a subtle
Subconscious way
That I am sure
You'll realize one day
