I reply to your roses
With all things unfair
Because it won't directly benefit me
And I simply do not care
Your cries fall upon deaf ears
But you'll hear mine till tears
For me, I'll make you break bricks
But I'll cough on you when you're sick
My trees flourish with your water
Yours crumble with weak foundation
I'll take whats mine,and take some more
Then give you crumbs and say be grateful
Your creativity fuels my negativity
Because my rage is filled with envy
So until I feel better in myself
I'll turn your hopes and ambitions to broken dreams

This is a poem about fake friends,from the POV of a fake friend.I chose the title "Intruder", because if a person has a repeated appearance in your life with no positive intentions,then they're not a friend,they're an intruder.
The first stanza talks about how fake people usually don't return the signs that you care,with signs that they care,because they don't see the importance of anything like that unless they can gain from it.
The second stanza is about how fake friends won't do anything for you,but under the guise of "friendship" they'll make you do to much for them.
"My trees flourish with your water" refers to how they benefit from your gifts and stuff."Yours crumble with weak foundation" refers to how they don't support you,and when something isn't supported well,that means it has a bad foundation.The following two lines are about how they'll take everything for you,so that their bare minimum will seem like much more than it actually is.
Finally,the last stanza talks about how behind almost all fake friends is just someone who's very jealous of you,so they're doing their best to bring you as low as possible,until they can finally stop hating themself.
