Friend or Foe

by M. James Cooper 

You heard what I said.

You heard what I said.

Yes, you heard what I said.

Laying next to me,

Strolling beside me,

Tortured by the same things that make me mad.

You know what words mean.

You know what words mean.

Yes, you know what my words mean,

Choosing not to hear them

Not wanting to see me

Not caring to know me.

You are complicit, and I want to know why?
