“promise me,”

I always say,

“you won’t laugh.”

when there is no point

in doing so

in the end,

whatever they swear,

they always laugh

maybe it’s a snicker

or perhaps a sneer

you tell me to shut up

when I share my insecurities

I’m not sure

if you think this is you

being a good friend

if you think that it’s funny

after I spill my heart

to you

what do you mean,

you can’t be friends

with people who don’t

like how they look?

is this how you act

after someone

opens up to you?

though now there’s

no need for you

to worry

I don’t need

no friend like you
