maybe I'm your worst friend

maybe
I don't deserve you

I forgot your birthday
don't know your mom's name
haven't seen you in ages
we talk in simple sentences

I know
I'm your worst friend

if you leave
I deserved it

you're too nice
I'd never take advantage
maybe I hold on because you're all I have

you're my best friend
you deserve better

BEST WISHES FOR ALL MY POET FRIENDS FOR 2020 !
May the coming New Year bring forth goodwill, happiness,
and good cheer!
May the Members of this great Hello Poetry site,
Learn to reciprocate by reading poems of other Members
posted here from time to time!
Even though I mostly compose non-fictional Books in verses
these days,
I never forget to read the verses of my good old Hello Poetry
Friends!
BEST WISHES FOR 2020 ALWAYS!

Have you ever looked evil in the eye?


           I have


    And he winked


A tone as smooth as velvet

A grin of a boy

His lips parted seas,

of churning lava

But I saw a pool,

     to dip my toes

He splashed playful twists and turns

    Till I was soaked

And drops trickled down my skin,

    scathed by sin

That murky tank of burns.
