Hard to understand
Turning down a friendship
Years of nice gestures
But you’re still pretentious
So many similarities
Very few differences
And so I wonder
What’s with the fences?
Is it my language?
Lack of religion?
Something I said
or something I did?
What could be so bad
that you refuse to see
We all need friends
From A to Z
Just want you to know
It’s not very nice
I’m only human
No matter my vice
Pretending we’re friends
Only when you need
something that others
don’t want to cede
Well, I’m tired of giving
Even though I expect
nothing in return
I still need respect
Wasting time to question
I’ll never know
Doesn’t really matter
I’m letting go
As a nice person
I wish you well
Never to meet again
The End
