PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I don't want
to try to be your friend,
if you don't
want me to be mine.
I don't want
to try to be your friend,
if I don't
see you opening to me.
I don't want
to try to be your friend,
if I have to
always talk to you first.
I don't want
to try to be your friend,
if you don't
care what I have to say.
I don't want
to try to be your friend,
if that's not
what you want.
I don't want
to try to be your friend,
if you want me
to take a hike.

I want to be your friend
because you care about me, too.
I want to be your friend
because I want to get to know you.
I want to be your friend
because you listen as do I.
I want to be your friend
because I don't want to see you cry.
I want to be your friend
because I can help
with today, tomorrow, and
whatever else you need.
I want to be your friend
because you want to be mine, too.
I want to be your friend
because you want me to be too.

I can't be your friend,
if you don't want me to be.
So, tell me just one thing.
Am I your
friend or foe?
