Why Can We Not Be Friends?
" You ask... "
I have asked myself that same question.
Maybe when I was pregnant at thirteen
To keep you out of reform school...
You could have been nicer instead
You told me I look and sound
like an elephant walking.
When I was learning to cook
you took the first meal I prepared
and threw it against the wall.
You f*cked every girl you knew
when it got too uncomfortable for me.
When I lost custody, you lied so I would sign
my rights over insuring I would never regain custody.
Everytime I saw you, I begged to let me see him.
You lied, "I do not know where he is."
Now, I discover you knew all along.
Did it make your d*ck feel bigger
to know I was in agony...
You worked with him
You knew his demons
You did nothing to stop him.
You never asked me to help.
Now he is dead from fentanyl
You say, "Well, it is just you and me
Old friend."
I say, "F*ck you. We were never friends."
