Dear Companion,

A friend I am not

I do not know how to mask desire with faithfulness

To falsely turn my cheek for the sake of another

 

No friends have I sought

But only intricate details of a lover

Held up in brilliant contrast to the sun

Until their affections I have won

Which subdue me for a while or so

But a friend I am not, so off they must go

 

As sidewalks are laced with tiny delicacy in blue

They say to me, 'I will not forget you'

But what is forgotten, if remembered without meaning?

Ah, and the blue laced flowers waver, unsure

As if to remember is to abhor
