We are no longer friends

Too far from being enemies yet

We are practicing our moves

The stage is set

We invisibly circle each other

Readying for an attack

Bruise each other with words

But see to it that we use tact

The defenses are up. Arms and ammunition ready.

We are holding each others gaze

All slow and steady

Waiting to see who’ll be the first one to blink

This silence is killing, pushing us over the brink

We were friends once

But that was long ago

We are still far away

From becoming foes.
