We Were Never Friends

We were never friends.

Born out of mutual need,
we pretended we loved each other,
only to fight and curse and cry behind closed doors.

We were never friends.

I thought we could be,
you brought me in so easily,
wrapped your arms around me lovingly, reassuringly.

We were never friends.

And then you turned.
Good times went to bad.
You brought out the worst in me and left me broken on my knees

We were never friends.

And yet I always return to you.
