Just Friends
by JJ JohnsonThere never was a chance for misguided rhymes
To create an illusion that could fool you forever
Trust becomes a victim of passionate crimes
The cost of embracing a fantasy friendship endeavor
Don’t be sorry I feel I can't be your friend
To value our amity only makes matters worse
Whether I like it or not you will not stop being my friend
Once again rejection cries out the words of my curse
Deception guides Arnold’s quest of unyielding fear
From the first time it is voiced the echo never ends
I'd sooner die of loneliness than ever again hear
Love's purest phrase of pain, "I just want to be friends"

But it sure smarts at first. And often for a long time. Important, frank and real poem of our times. We've all been there I'm sure. |
