I do not want to be your friend
Please don’t misunderstand
My painfully obvious intentions
I do not want thousands of words
Exchanged between us
Without a single one about
What it is we truly are
Polite has no place in my mind
Useless has no business being here
I have no need for another one
Of those people whose name
I will forget as soon as it is said
I have too many in my life as it is
I need your truth and your vulnerability
The very real you I can explore
The real you I can dissect and study
And a plastic model that resembles you
Has no place in my heart
