Best Friends Forever

I know you

You gave me AIDS with your game of pass the needle

But I didn’t care

We were sisters

Together through those months of medical rehab

And when he beat you

I was the one who called the cops

When my mom threw me out you took me in

We had the world to ourselves

Performing rituals of adolescence until we fell asleep watching

Old movies and snorting Sunday’s cocaine

A modern day Thelma and Louise

When you jumped I did too with full one hundred percent complete trust

Now I would rather lend my car to Hitler

Before I will talk to you again
