she thinks
i'm a fairweather friend
because i'm only around when it's bright
and nowhere to be seen when it's dark.
she feels betrayed by me
but i wish she could see and hear
how ridiculous she sounds,
because
you see,
she goes by many names throughout the day
while i have none.
i guess there isn't any reason to
since i wouldn't be able to respond to anyone even if i did.
because no one speaks to you when all you can offer is silence.
you see,
the only world i know is hers and hers alone:
i can't hear anything because i have have ears
i can't see anything because i have no eyes
i can't feel anything because i have no brain, no skin, no heart
i can't do anything much, really
except for follow her around.
you see,
i was born with her against my will
and i live on even after she dies.
how is this fair?
she can't see
that darkness is where i call home.
where i rightfully belong,
with my kind.
you see,
i've never thought of her as a friend.
she can't see
that i am her captive.
