Frienemy

I try to remember

It's about you

Not me

But that's hard to do

When on the receiving end

Of the anger you feel

Because of something I said

Or something I've done

That reminds you

Of that other someone.

Never would I

disrespect you

neglect you

take you for granted

All that in your head

Someone else has implanted

I only argue

Because of what may be said

For I can't agree

That what you say is true

Even if it's not about me

and is about you

Never would I

Think less

Take advantage

Blame you for the mess

But I'll manage

When you wish to vent

And I'm the only one here

The only one near

The only one

 who no matter what is said

You know won't disappear

I just ask if I come to mind

In your heart you find

The friend you loved

Instead of

The enemy you created

A role I seem 

forever fated

To play

My only wish

I pray, is

that you'll figure

That out

Someday.
