She Was My Friend

That girl sure did shine
Like the brightest diamond in my eyes
That girl was my only true friend
Plenty of nights we stayed up and got super drunk
Talked about our dreams or the men we've been seeing
My friend squeezed her fist raised her arms
And even fought with me 
Those girls who came on scene 
And tried to fight little ole me
This girl would never hurt her dear friend Tee
Or so she liked to have me believe
 You can kinda say I slightly sensed her jealousy
But I let it go
Jealous for what? We are one in the same
Plenty times she disrespected and called me out of my name
I thought that was just her 
My girl hardly ever said anything that wasn't a bad word or threat
Until I picked up her phone on one random day
Saw the message that read
Im sick of this girl they call Tee Marie
If she didn't pay for everything 
And I didn't need the money 
I am one she would never see
I hung my head low in disbelief
how could my diamond girl feel this way about me
I let fools gold get too close to me
