Frienemy (My Friend, My Enemy)

by Ms. TKay - Cancer

my friend
my enemy
same person
frienemy
my friend today
and the price i pay
couldn't even wait for me 
  to turn around
to knock me to the ground
and kick dirt in my eye
tell lie after lie after lie
but did you have to kick
  me in the ribs 
and spit on me 
  as you walked away?
a pain in my back
i didn't see the knife
  i just felt the pain
squeezing lemon juice on my life
pouring salt on my name
then left me in the rain
covering my tears
confirming my fears
after all these years
i never noticed your 
  eyes were green
i always thought of 
  you as a beautiful queen
never even thought you could
  pronounce the word envy
didn't know it was in your
  vocabulary
thought you was my friend
  but really my enemy
and it's a shame
i love you the same
i was your friend
but you weren't mine
frienemy
