Friends & Bullets

 
Friends don't exist
Not really  
Acquaintances do
They will help
When it suits
They will have your  
Back behind you;
Well behind you.
But when it comes
To taking a bullet
it’s gonna be you
And not them
Such are we all
Selfish with life
 
If I met somebody
Who said they would
Take a bullet for me
I would be suspicious
A doubting Thomas
I would make friends
With them, break bread
Share stories
Shoot the breeze
But I’d still be  
Unsurprisingly waiting
On that bullet
The one they
Didn’t catch
For me
