Friends Poem by Martyna no

his eyes smile when they
meet my eyes,
and i say to myself,
friends look this way,
we are friends

he talks to me for hours,
his dreams, his secret fears,
and i say to myself,
friends share this way,
we are friends

he walks me home,
makes sure I get there safe,
and i say to myself,
friends care this way,
we are friends

he holds me close
I melt into his arms and
I say to myself
friends hug this way
we are friends


he calls me his friend,
as if it's a kindness,
and i ask myself,
when will he know
i don't want to be friends
