RELATIONSHIP Poem: by Devyn Barnes

Dear friend,
it has been 10 days since we last spoke,
Or I should say we spoke for the last time,
I told you I was sorry
You told me I was my mother
Friend, it has been years since we hugged
Or I should say embraced
You would rather a kiss than the truth
I would rather not

Friend, we have passed excuses between us like cigarettes
I will always see my pain through your eyes
And you will always see me as below you

Friend, what should I do today?
Without your guidance I don’t know how to be acceptable
How do I fly without my wings
How do I surrender without my flag

Friend, you are the worst and best of me
You would smile, I would yell for you
You would cry, I would fight for you
And you will hurt, and I will never blame you.
