He said and I said…
“I wasn’t going to mention him no more…”
I knew I was lying.

Lives and hungers for attention. Don’t listen to it.
Lives under intense pressure and is durable…but is not your friend.
Loves and hungers for the lesson minus the experience to make it reality.
It lives like this…because living is its life.
...

Confused about this inner thought
Distraught not really
At first sitting with my feet up
Then lounging with my feet down

Works hard with no qualms to put calices on the palms.
He’s a bread maker.
Some call them winners either way he always cooked dinner from this green funny paper.
He bathed us, carried us, nursed us, and beat our butts - well plucked us because we were

I said to memories past…I was weak

He said and I said…
“I wasn’t going to mention him no more…”
I knew I was lying.
Here it is I’m mentioning him…
I was annoyed sometimes…irritated other times…
I said I wasn’t going to because I was thinking of our good times…
If I were a true friend I wouldn’t be so demanding…
Or so needy…
Still I looked at the here and now and got frustrated again…
This time he said and I said I wasn’t “going to speak in his name no more…”
He didn’t deserve that…
He had a couple tough days to…like six now.
Guess I forgot…
Stubborn me want to stick to my guns… no more in his name right…?
I lied again…
He said…I agreed… “And in my heart it proved to be like a burning fire”…
I knew I was lying before.
My heart was on fire…I can’t leave my friend for no reason…
He’s been there… is here and still here…he reminds me of my father.
I was in denial I loved him that much…
I had to talk about him…I’ve never known someone so loyal…
He heard I said all that…blowing smoke and such…
He knew him and he knows me…
And knew I would get tired of hiding holding it in…
Maybe that’s why he likes me a little…
His old friend said the same thing I was thinking…
“I was unable to endure it”
It was obvious…
I stood here listening to people talk bad about him…
Had to do something…
Yeah I guess I mimic…nothing I’m saying is original.
Thank you Jeremiah for giving me something to represent with.
We got a lot in common about how we feel.
Exit stage left to the next test.
I know my friend - our friend will be there…
I never see him when he’s around…but I know he’s here.
Some call him a lot of different things…
Friends of friends call him by name.
