Your Truths

We're getting older and more fearful.
"I am a queen", you once told me,
As we walked to Baskin Robbins
And I agreed with you
Knowing you were never more than
His inconsequential hobby
Feeding into his narcissism
As he feeds you lies and lines
That you believe without a single hesitation
The lies and lines he's told others before you.
Maybe as your friend
I should have said something
But we're old and fearful
And want nothing more than
The 2200 square foot home in the suburbs
A new Volvo
And the 2.5 kids
Well aren't you messed up?
Maybe as your friend
I should have said something
But what could I have really said
When I knew from the very beginning
That queens don't exist
And that lies and lines
Are the only truths in your world.
We're getting older now
And I fear what you have become.
