With Friends like these...
Who needs enemies?
Yo, I need fake friends
like I need a disease
Friends
REAL, abide
by the 'pinky' code
TRUE ones fly,
ride, or die
til you're dead
or dementia old
couldn't recognize
'em from a cold
Friends...
yea, how many of us them?
how many others would stab them
grab them of their kindness
some are just scum run afoul
you give em your all n' they
callin' you a weak mess
So sick of what I find is
that they can't be REAL
friends, more like 'make pretend'
when will their bullshit banter
ever end?
Fair weather, they better
at BAD 'whether' wearing wolf
suits them much better
when the goal is to get her
Sheepishly slinking 'round
your ole girl's backside
whisperin' to hook up
on the 5 minute ride
they hide that despise
cloaked in false kindness' eyes
but you can't be blinded by
A lightless facade
n' a crocodile's tearful cries,
they won't mention
that helping was a simple scam
damn, gotta work a new plan
grand-scheme to bite the hand
that feeds them love, n' honesty
Honestly, that's always been me
givin' of myself so freely
true FRIENDSHIP, yea so far
n' few the true ones are...friends
how many of us have them in fact?
These were a few hard lessons learned
when I turned n' looked back...

True, false friends cut deep, it's a tough betrayal to bear.
Good flow there, Poetik.

Frenemies.... I've had a few of them; those who claim and act as though their my friends, hoping the benefits of the relationship will be rewarding to them, while harboring resentment for reason yet to be discovered, or pure jealousy. I'd rather know up front I'm your enemy, at least I know where you stand. Great Ink Poe! Got me goin' on and on, I just hate being deceived. Xo

Like my father told me growing up, "You will know who your true friends are in time of need." Many people claim to be a friend only when they see something you have that they want. That's why the bible speak of false friends, pretenders. Masterfully done, well put in poetic words indeed.

Such a bitter write, my friend.
But you're so right:
There are some
who just pretend
and will deliberately
turn you down when you
turn your back on them.

a true friend is a rare priceless treasure,that being said many will proclaim to be a real friend but few will actually measure up..most folks look for what they can get out of a friendship instead of what they can put in..this is why i choose to be my own best friend,nobody can look out for my best interest better than me...people let you down and disappoint you,because as i stated they are simply concerned about self..its rare to find someone selfless enough to be called a true friend ..but the few who are included in my small circle they have earned their place there,and i truly treasure them..Excellent Ink Poetik, i really enjoyed!!!
