'Friends' by Shaniah King

Updated: Apr 25, 2019

“Friends”

Let’s be friends

We can text all day and think about each other all night

But don’t catch feelings ‘cause I just want a vibe

Only have sex with me and no one else

I want you to myself, but I can fuck other girls

I want you to cook for me and let’s shower together

Lay up no matter the weather

We can go on dinner dates and take long walks in the park

Not in the daylight, only in the dark . . .

We can talk all night and you can tell me about your day

Don’t catch feelings cause then I’ll run away

I’m not ready for a relationship—but I wanna play

I want to play with your emotions

Like someone once did to me

I trust no female; I’ve learned to live free

Girls are too complicated, sneaky and time consuming

I’d rather focus on myself and not have to worry about anyone else

Once feelings become involved I’ll drop you so quick. . .

I’ll never stop running until I find a new bitch


I fall too hard, I love too deep

I’m already starting to like him, and it’s only been a week

I can’t let him know or he will quickly let me go

Our friendship is getting deeper and I’m starting to like him more

I can’t tell him that or he’ll run for the door

I know his ex hurt him but maybe he’s healed

So now I’ll tell him how I really feel

“I told you not to get attached, even if that’s hard to do

You give me no choice—I’m leaving you”


Every boy is the same. . .hurt and filled with pain

It’s time I stop crying and join the game—

Let’s be friends.
