I'll listen to the speeches you throw down my throat
I'll pay for the meals you hardly touch
I'll sing you to sleep, keep you in my dreams
You're all I need; an easy friend
And though you're not quite who I'm looking for
I'll play pretend and be all yours
Until I find a better friend, just know
I can't see you every night... for free
I'll take advantage of you taking advantage of me
and I'll hang upon your every word
I do hope you have the time
to not exactly be with me
I do need an easy friend
but I can't see you every night for free

stunned
isnt that what a good piece is supposed to make you do? words that cloak yet strip bare at the same time? do we ever admit that we do this:
"You're all I need; an easy friend
And though you're not quite who I'm looking for
I'll play pretend and be all yours"
and ...even better, why do we act surprised when we discover that we are someone else's 'easy friend'??
i love this...!!

I Do...Love This Poem
This poem was great. I loved it so much, mainly because the poem connected so well with the song, you get that same feeling of anger and love at the same time, and it just rocks. Spectaculous.

Once again this is amazing and makes my writing look like shit
lol. I love it.
"I'll take advantage of you taking advantage of me
and I'll hang upon your every word
I do hope you have the time
to not exactly be with me"
^^^^
I can relate so much to these lines, it's crazy. It's like you're writing my thoughts the way I wish I could. I feel like this is where I'm at in my current (not really) "relationship".
You're brilliant bbi. Keep writing.
