Enemy Wear

"Enemy Suit"

If you are my online styling enemy, 
Then I love you more than poop and snakes combine 
I'd pray to God, every night, 
'Ask him to fill your room with termites 
Once in a while, I'd ask him to give you grace 
In hopes today, you don't expose the green monster face 
Enough said for the time to be.

To:
My dearest enemy, my mentor
I want you to know, you taught me well
Tonight I Will Put On My Enemy's Clothes
And I'll be the fake friend that hugs you
 

Hugs, Hugs, Love, Love Linda

the trick with edgy poetry is to still keep it beautiful sounding to the ear. You achieved that in spades.

Hi Linda. There's a lot of emotion in that ending...and throughout. I wonder if those clothes would fit me :) I've had some online experiences that are heartbreaking--fake friends? Yep.
