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
