No Longer a Friend

I’ve come to realize, there’s nothing for me
You’re a tiny bit selfish.  I’m starting to see
For the sake of your pride, you hide and tell lies
 You commit, we agree, but you never abide

Kindred spirits, you and I, like two peas in a pod
Much the same, but unique, equivocally odd
So deeply, we feel.  We share, much, passion
I make you laugh and you help me ration

But, no longer can I find, a friend in you
In and out of my life, whenever you choose
I’ll be your support.  Even though it’s one sided
But I won’t count on you.  You failed when I tried it

Pets make the best friends. I have found people to be too selfish, dishonest and they tend to stab you in the back. Another fine write, Anna.
