Friends? Not Really

Heavy like the day
Your talent is ever flattered
Neither clever or funny
A choking stutter

Flimsy cardboard
Your stories read one way
No room for rewrites
It's heaven sent

Oh, that's right
Your success is earned
Not bought or smuggled across

Smudge the makeup
Roll the dice and take your pick
I forget that in these pages
You will live forever

Lips a flotation device
Cement cream freezes your sneer
Every man you ever infected
They still feel the lack

Oh, that's right
You are a natural woman
Not the lifelike discount imitation

And I won't forget it
Hasn't mended since we left it

And I won't forget it
Still twisting since you said it
