We would watch bad movies and buy overpriced food As they would laugh, I’d repeat the reviews “I told you so”, but they retorted with “prude” If only then I knew that best friends were bad news We would play fighting games and hate the winner Then we’d debate politics politely Yeah right, unlikely We’d forget about it all over dinner But in truth, I never forgot Why should I always reach out and call Left in my room to rot While you go out and widen the wall Maybe I was meant to be alone But Mercury would surely mock my sign I will never pick up the phone For my pride has drawn the permanent line.
