You creep up on me in the dark
When I'm curled and sleeping
And jolt me awake with a bang
I can't endure
You're not my friend.
You follow me to my car and just
When I am happy with my sweetheart
At lunch you karate chop my neck
And I have to leave without a word.
You're not my friend.
The play is about to begin
The lights have dimmed
The tickets were fifty dollars
I have waited so long for this night
My head explodes into god-awful pain
I wind my way outside to go home.
You're not my friend.
You came into my life when I was a youth,
So many years ago, an uninvited guest.
You lurk, waiting to pounce at any moment
With unbearable pain.
I have tried to live the good life, petting you
With good foods, medicines, all the things
You might need - but nothing pleases you.
Now I must find a way to put a
Final end to you - for you are the enemy
That lives inside me, always taunting.
You're not my friend.
