how do you, friend
who are no friend
just an end to a means
of love that was not even
half-felt
causing me to bend
too much to lend
so I’m fending for myself
where you said you might be
I followed the trend
of having such a friend
not really mending what needs
to be finished
it’s a life half-lived
I’ll fill myself before the end
