Pretentious Friend

YEAH just walk away, Rene
I don’t need you anyway
to know if this was meant for YOU
you'll question in your mind.
I always thought that you were cool
until you made me out the fool
you clenched the doubt when you sold out
Pretending to be kind
Was I just blind or too naïve
to see what you had up your sleeve?
You never once allowed yourself
a genuine friendship
So yeah, just walk away Rene
I’ll never ruin another day
you proved yourself,
"pretentious friend"
when you gave me the slip.

Hello. You are the winner, she's one not able to enjoy your personality and friendship. Her loss!!! You might enjoy my poem, "Saddened,"relates to those that choose to leave us for no reason. bbn
