Frienemy:Elementary, My Dear
I met you on a sunny day
Swinging to the sky
I couldn't find what to say
So I slowly whispered, "Hi!"
Stumbling, fumbling, bumbling idiot
I couldn't get you to come my way
Like a ray of sunlight
You ran about, giggling in play
Soon, I joined the fun
But fear captured my run
I slowed my feet to walk
Carefully crafting my talk
...to impress my friend
I got lost in her beauty
You could find me on her heels
Serving her was my duty
While she bent me to her will
Spinning, winning, pinning donkeys
Dancing to the rhythm of rhyme
Not caring about the games we played
Just that I could have her one more time
Adventures on land or sea
Or fleeing from danger with me
We ran til energy died
And the road between us, arose to divide
...hearts asunder
~I heard the thunder~
...then...came the rain
