Frienemy:Guarded
It's a lie, all a lie
Time has not the power to heal
While you were gone
Our enemy took opportunity to steal
He pulled my heart to desire
Set my members on fire
with yearning
I got to have a friend
A better one than you had ever been
but...learning
~the price~
Screw it all, I need no one
I will soon rid myself of tears
I hate cowardice, in warriors
I will conquer my consuming fears
Kindness often walks in silence
Rage suppressed leads to violence
with time
Anger expressed needed less
So, Mama, I did my best
with...my...mind
~Divided~
Did you know you were my hope
You were my rock, my only escape
Demons lived in my Christian home
Angels dwelt in your faith
A door ahead beckoned us, come in
We took our moment as though time had not not been
without separation
Others joined, but I had no room
On my hopeless grieving loom
without...careful...investigation
~of Frienemies~
