F(r)iend
I know she doesn't love me.
She visits everyone.
When its looking bright.
She'll shade me from the sun.
She is all I've got.
Probably my best friend.
Though she isn't real.
I like to pretend
It's a sense of duty.
Much less out of care.
Always there beside me.
My keeper of despair.

Splendidly executed.
An marvelous example of poetry as proto-psychology. 🤓

Cool how you show the "bondage" of such a "relationship status." Heh, I suppose that can be taken many other ways. If you look into what the protagonist would really be doing here, be it an ode to the needle, a companion, or self-indulgent satire, it'd be a case of covetousness, lust, and idolatry. The "vicariousness" of the drug lives through a person and replaces personality. They become a shining example of self-fulfilled charisma. Once you remove the drug, the "confidence" in "relationships" definitely suffers, if doesn't completely become broken. Ideals, outlook on life and love, and desperation for the synthesis of saturated emotion take over. Anyway, that's just how I interpret this. I like the title "F(r)iend." You do a great job of using metaphors and definitive terminology to bring together very compacted interpretations that make me think. It's also very concise, neat, and tidy - just about the right amount of wordiness. Anyway, thanks for sharing!

This is actually about my "mistress misery" as I call her. It's the most reliable emotion.
I'm sorry if that ruins it for you.
Thank you none the less.
