Deborah Horton Writing

There are those called friend
and the word doesn’t fit
for they are only shells
of what a friend should be.

There are those called friend
who turn out to be users,
liars and backstabbing gossips
nothing a friend should be.

There are those called friend
who are only when they wish it
and not when you truly need them
never what a friend should be.

There are those called friend
who are there through it all
walking heart to heart
always what a friend should be.
