Let's Just
by
Emma - Louise Braiden
Lets just be friends
Why do we need the addition of 'just'?
Is not friendship one of the wonders of life?
Is not the 'next step'
Often a step towards missery?
Why must we feel compelled to ruin friendships
Motivated by a drive for gratification
Of our many physical and emotional needs.
Let's just be lovers
Let's just get married
Let's just grow old together
Let's just share the intimacy of life
Let's just break each other
Let's just kill each other slowly with our insecurities
Lets be enemies.
