Just Wanted to Hurt Her

This was an excuse offered for a grievous offence against a friend.
It sounded so futile and empty, like "I really hated for being my friend."
Didn't she feel worthy to have a true friend? People who feel unworthy
Have unknown demons that wait for a reason and a season to proceed further.

Keep this in mind: you do not need a "friend" who feels unworthy as a friend,
For you cannot be conceived as their friend, just an enemy in the end.
And if you ask me how I know, all about these variables, I can say
I've experienced that scenario firsthand. That paradox is over in every way.

I could explain in minute detail, but it's not worth the telling.
Moving on to progressive procedures is much more compelling.
This I must say: When a friend has proven out as forever real,
Hang on to that one for it is a phenomenon worthy of an eternal "seal."
