Afraid To See
There she is doing that again
Ah getting high never mends
It's all in the mind yet the mind
is currently twisted.
Suddenly it's becoming
way too routine to her.
It's like drinking orange
juice with your eggs and bacon.
Except she's frying out
her brain cells.
I worry sometimes about
her well being.
You see the guys that
she lights up with
are less than trustworthy
and they definitely want
what's under her jeans.
She's my best friend
and I love her to death.
Yet I have to ignore
the fact that she's so distant
her getting high isn't
at all consistent
She's not an addict by any means
If you ever met her in person
you'd be completely fooled
by this pretty, nice, high school salutatorian
who is currently getting excellent grades in college
I pray with each high that it won't change
any of the sober things that I love about her
Sometimes it's just afraid to see
The only true friend I know fade away
when she gets blown.
