Time On Them If Removed Time On You You Improved

You can pick and choose your friends, 
who is true who is pretend 
Who needs you then they leave you 
If it suits them 
then refuse them 
Are they there 
do they care 
do they have nerve 
do they dare 
is it all one way and nothing back 
Are they owed a favour broken track 
Looping around and using you 
never occurring they should too
It’s not time that makes them close 
It’s what they do when you lose hope
Do they celebrate your victories 
And sit with you through your miseries 
When you use up your energy 
If they don’t they’re an enemy 
Are they quick to point out what they’re owed 
they want it paid back what they’ve showed 
Think they’re smarter than you are 
Push their luck and go too far 
Friends aren’t always what they seem 
they’re not always what you need 
Sometimes you should up and leave  
Even if they feel aggrieved 
Their probably a victim 
If so they are restricting 
Time on them but if removed 
Time on you sees you improved
