The Poems For Those Times

That Friend

It's awkward to be

Next to you

Standing alone

Just us two

We laugh and we joke

We giggle and we play

But that now feels

Like yesterday

I can't help but feel

Uncomfortable

As if you would judge me

And give me a label

You would get stingy

And say rude things

That makes me want to cry

Your patience is tight like a string

I won't make excuses

I'll take the blame

'Cause I still treasure your smile

Even if you say tham I'm lame

No need to accuse me

I'll take the fault

For you, the friend that I need

But don't want
