Free Verse - The Man Who Counted His Flaws
He said,
"Dont love me,
I hurt a lot of people."
I thanked him for the warning
But I never said I'd Listen.
I regret it.
He'd say to me,
"I have friends,
None of them are real,
Like you."
I'd believe him
Somehow
I knew it was all just
Lies.
I wanted to Believe.
I wanted a friend.
He left
and
Never talked to me again.
I've never had a friend
who
was with me
forever.
