Frenemy
You say
you are my friend
and yet
behind my back you go
to say things
true friends wouldn't
say to others.
True friendship
is caring,
careful,
considerate,
and honest.
Would never knowingly
hurt you.
Yet
you lie to me
to my face
and do your best
to manipulate me
into doing what
you want me to do.
You don't care
that you hurt
others by the very things
you say about them
when they are not around.
Because your only agenda
is You!

Some friendships last for a lifetime and some friendships last for a season. You know it's time to end a friendship when the friendship has the capability of hurting you. When the friendship doesn't edify you or bring you joy. When the friend lies to you and tries to manipulate you according to their personal agenda. Let them go. However easier said then done. It's ironic that you can decide to end a friendship due to a friend's harmful treatment of you and yet that friend still has the nerve to get mad at you and won't let go. You want to say to that ex-friend, "Think about the big beam in your eye compared to the little sticks in those around you." A true friend will want what's best for you and not the worst. Get lost my enemy not my friend! My true frenemy!
