No Friend In You

By: Kyle Strauss Abastillas

Is that what you call a friend?
The one you can lean on till the end?
The person that'll cherish the moments you're together?
And swore that never will you forget each other?

It tore me apart, that thing I knew?
That I have no friend in you.
That superficial attitude you show daily,
deceives not just me but everybody.

I tried my heartfelt best to treat you ethically.
I did my best not to tease you ostentatiously.
But I lost my temper, my equanimity
There's nothing more hurtful than what you did to me.

I thought you were my buddy,
But you treated me as your enemy.
I know it's not my fault, I am sure.
You need not treat me like we do not know each other.

Nevertheless, I am still open to forgiveness,
Since I am the one who understands the situation best.
You know that this is my weakness,
Confrontation instead of sweet caress.
