The strong consume the weak. That...is the rule of the world. But...in this world of rules and systems.... If there was another 'option'.... Then perhaps we could meet each other. Not at the end.... But beyond that.


Your friendship is a rose full of thornes.

You drive your thorns into my insecurities and existence.

You intervene in my foremost discussion. 

You refuse to have an open ear.

But I still love you.


Though I have to remind you to mind your mouth,

You still make me laugh.


How your skin colour reflects your cooking,

with fried rice or cajun mac-and-cheese.

How you sleep during movies.

How you fart all night long, 

and throughout the night.

How you always give me money,

even through the countless times 

I protested taking it.


How you jumped from one relationship.

Who had a man,

who was stuck behind a train,

on his way to the bathroom for over an hour.

To a man,

who refused to pick up the phone,

to painstakingly hear your voice of concern.

Life is a highway.

Filled with bumps and bruises,

that we faced together.

I loves you, Butthead.
