Masquerading Eyes

A poem that sums up a friend who only needs you when they feel like it, never being a friend in return.


Poem Artwork

Entwined in arms of safety

A comfort bed of trust

When all around are predators

In me,  there is no lust

But every time you leave me

I never hear a word

Until the time when life is down

It all feels so absurd

The ignorance is hurtful

Feels like a pure charade

Behind the eyes of innocence

Lies a masquerade

If friendship is a vessel

Next time you?re on shore

Look into the horizon

This ship will be no more

I can relate to this. I sailed away! Beautifully expressed.

Worse than a 'fair weather' friend. Your poem sets the right attitude.

We feel this sort of thing way before we see it- if we ever do.
And we can think people need us when they just seem to need something from us, and maybe countless others.
Well done.
John

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
