Tonight

So tonight I spoke to an old friend

Not old in age but someone I grew up and would defend

Only defend because she called skinny names

The ones that would make her cry as bullies aimed

Well now all that time has passed and she has a family

Where she has done well for herself and not claimed bankruptcy

See people the struggle is real out there

Everytime I speak to her she speaks deep and ends a sentence with a prayer

Now I am not lying

Not a long prayer let me start clarifyling

But talks deep about what she truly feels

Praises the MAN upstairs for her family's nightly meals

But tonight I sense something different in her tone

She met this new guy ...I should've known

You would be happy for a friend that told you she fiinally found true love, RIGHT?

Well in this case something just doesn't seem right and when I spoke back my tongue I had to bite

Believe me I am not hating

But this new guy she is dating

Sounds like some guy we should sit down and start debating

Something in my gut says he is not right for her

My mind doesn't quite feel the need to concur

How do I tell her how I feel

If at the end of our 2 hour conversation she wanted to know if I thought it was real

Then quickly hangs up and says, "how's your relationship going"

I seemed confused

I couldn't get a sentence or two in, I felt misused

I'll refuse to tell her my exact thoughts on this new guy

Do you guys consider me a true friend or am I that friend that just stands by.

Tonight has left me dumbfounded

My mind feels like it's been pounded
