She was a Friend of Mine

Deception

Treachery poem

We argue hurtfully about her
I see what she is doing
She needs help over and over again
She is my friend
Not yours
Her fridge is broken
Her tire needs changing
Kindness being invoked
I see the deception
Deceitfulness the face mask
Counting on pity for a parent alone
No bitch
Maybe I’ll agree to help
But
Not with my husband
