Draft 7


I always found it weird how he laughed at the world
Yet never let the world laugh at him?

How he could be a terror to those he despised
Yet desired those who I thought deciphered him.

True I hated him but when my best friend helped hinder
My hatred to happy hangouts and joy

Because she saw in him a sight which I still haven't seen
Or even think I've gleaned but I trusted her glimpse

And I thought for a moment I understood him
And I thought for a moment we were friends in arms

And when he showed the same scorn to those I despised
I thought for a moment I'd deciphered him

And I'd laugh along because I thought I was a part
Of his scheme, an accomplice rather than adversary

And I'd laugh along because I thought they deserved it
And that I was doing karma's work through the guise of friendship

Because all in all who'd rather be a stranger to a savage
Than a helping hand hidden behind the leash

Last night I fought with him on the phone and felt the scorn of so long ago
That I'd almost forgotten, because of a little thing I did that I didn't even know

Would piss him off or anybody and he said I'd gone too far
And I found out that the curious specimen that I thought he was

Was the way he saw me all along

A deviant, a devil, a thing to be drowned with kindness
And then stabbed while delirious
A hog
