We are best friends with the people we say we hate.

It is very difficult to love someone who also loves your enemy,

It is very difficult to trust a word they say,

Especially when they call your nemesis outside the words “good friend.”

When you say you’re here for me instead of them,

I hear the same lie echoed across the table to her.

And you wonder why while we sleep I watch you intently,

because you may call yourself my friend but the close ones are always more deadly.
