Fake Friend
There’s dirt and shame upon my face,
I know it well, too well!
But yours is stained with hypocrisy
so, I would say, we’re even.
Let’s cleans each other, shall we?
What a marvelous idea!
I’ll use my claws, you use your teeth!
So, when we walk the earth, my friend,
You - dripping blood and anger,
Me - missing parts and empathy,
Both - laughing, hugging, faking,
well, they wouldn’t notice
the knives we used
to stab each other’s backs.
Aren’t we besties, fake one?
