Should Not Be A Friend To Claim

I am not a friend to you

For you I am a fool,

I am a dupe and never that cool;

We don’t have similarities,

Only differences and inconsistencies.

 

You’re like a book  of Metaphors,

While I am just a little brochure;

Your mouth was full of idioms

While mine has  Ironies  and Personifications.

 

Despite that I offered you

A friendship which for me is true;

You just frown at me in disgust

Like I’m a nobody to trust.

 

You and I, we’re opposite

Two different ends that never meet;

The moments that we talk and chatter

Were  the times we shared to attack  each other.

 

I now accept that I’ve never been

A friend to you, just stupid and mean;

So forget the time you knew my name

Each shouldn’t be a friend to claim.

If this is for me, sorry if I hurt you, sorry if I said something against you...this is so mean so mean,...hu,hu,hu,hu, ...snif,snif, sniff. I'm not that of metaphor, maybe I'm just an eyesore, so sorry if I gave you the sore eyes. ( Masakit at makati sa mata yon ) So dramatic ha ? I just carried by the background music.he,he,he...... Wonderful poem..such so emotional, " ang tindi , tagos sa kaluluwa, na di pwedeng iluwa " My smile. : )

pati tuloy yong sniff ko mali nadala ng hangin - sorry for the typo error.

Hehe. You always make me smile, Sir Ency. If proven nga mag-asawa yung relatives natin, I'll call you Tito Ency.
You're not that one, I promise.
Thanks for the time spent in this sentiment. You're always my mentor. :)

[Ency Bearis]

You're welcome.

Goodbye to a friend that would never be ...
I'd rather be alone and just be free...

Haha! Thanks for the couplet, Neil. Actually, this is a product of momentary emotion. Friends are treasure to me. This friend is still my friend until now because I've win that person back.

Great poem, it's filled with emotions and reality .. it seems that it's related to a real life experience you had

Thanks for the visit Khaled. Yes, you are right. I am a friendly person. And I value friendship so much... in my real life and even here in WC. When I treated somebody as friend, that means he/she is important to me. But sometimes people are just too critical...and insensitive.

This is great.it delves onto the minds eye.Not what we see but what we feel .And that is where friendship resides

Thanks, Tate. :)
