you no longer are
who i remember you to be

i've known you since you were a boy
but you're trying to use me

this is what i see
and it saddens me

you manipulate
and intimidate
without integrity

you abuse my kindness
and take advantage of my generosity

now to help you
I must refuse

so that you can see
that i am not here for you to use
nor abuse


for you need to learn
that my friendship


is something you must earn
