Fans and Friends

They are not ivories 
they are canines
Between them is a venom 
stand in the right column

They are not friends 
They are fans 
Sucking your blood
They won't leave, until they paint you mud

They are not after your wealth
They worry about your health
Very few, but means a lot 
They stand with you, firm as a knot 

They don't wait to wipe your tears
They hold you, and fight your fears
