We are not friends
No, we are not
I’ve never had a real friend before,
But I know this is not friendship

You leave me in places one should not be left alone in
You tell me things one should never be told
You fill your glass up while mine has been empty for hours
You don’t even know my middle name

It’s William, by the way,
Not that it really matters anymore
Would you even recognize my face in a crowded room?
I think about yours at night before I fall asleep

I’m not growing,
And you’re not listening
You let my leaves die
While you prune everyone else’s

We are not friends
No, we are not
But you don’t care
You have friends to spare
