Phony Friends

Written by: Felicia Spencer

AN: This is a story I wrote about an experience that I'm going through right now. I don't normally associate with this person for obvious reasons, but let's just say that this person won't leave me alone...even though I totally ignore them. The poem kinda explains it all, and hey just for the record it isn't none of you lovely guys here. I know who my real friends are. This anonymous person is a friend of the family...but obviously I don't think that is actually true. Anyway on to the poem.

---

Don't smile in my face

Then stab me in the back

Because really I don't need

A phony friend like that

---

If you really don't like me

Then leave me alone

I was fine before I met you

I never once complained or moaned

---

But you're making my heart heavy

I never felt so insecure

Now I feel lost and alone

tainted and unsure

---

Is this the way true friendship is

Then really I'd rather have none

And now I know what it really means

To be a shadow in the sun

---

I bet you might even think

That you're doing something good

Befriend the little lonely girl

And be helpful if you could

---

But once out of the light

You tear me all to shreds

Thinking that I won't ever know

The awful things you've said

---

I may never really know

All the words brought out

But you better believe this one fact

I could careless, no doubt

---

So why don't you leave me alone

And please just let me be

Cause with "friends" like you in my life

I'd rather have enemies
