my friend is my enemy is my friend

by Ava Blu



i told the fucking truth
chastised to the fullest

lie after lie after lie after
happily ever after lies

she just thinks she knows and believes she thinks it’s the way it was
once before
it all came back

i know he’ll come through
i know he won’t be that alcoholic forever
almost 60 years behind him
doesn’t even hide it anymore

he grew up in the 60’s
it was cool then
coke and beer for breakfast
lunch
skip dinner

got a friend around here somewhere
said she’s been living out of her car
but i can’t help
i’m just not up for saving any

i know she’ll be back at it again
chastising me for telling the truth

but i won’t open the blinds
with her broken hand

there are some favors
friends shouldn’t allow.
