Honestly.

November 30, 2018
By Anonymous

I know nothing about you,

Not a single thing,

Yet you know everything about me,

Giving me a reason to cling.


You aren’t the person you act to be,

And still I can’t find you actually.

What a thick persona, too tough to break.

Leaving this friendship feeling so fake.


Who are you and when?

Why do you say I’m your friend,

But leave me when the school day ends?

I can’t help but think of what you intend.


I think you’ll hurt me, I think you’ll bite,

But still you’re on my mind each night.

I doubt you mean it, but still you might.

Are you sure I’ll be alright?


Who are you honestly?

Why do you always leave me?

Do I need to tread cautiously,

Or can I be carefree?


I need a friend,

I need a person to hold,

But I know that road’s a dead-end,

And I will always be left cold.


The author's comments:

I have recently connected with some new people, and I am a little weary on the idea of friendship. I feel like they are kind of being two-faced, and not showing me who they are (despite the fact that I am being totally honest). I desperately want a real friendship with them, but I fear that they are still hiding something from me and it could be potentially harmful.
