jux·ta·po·si·tion
How did I become your nemesis
My old and trusted friend
When did we arrive at this antithetical place
Where conflict never seems to end
When did someone turn the page
while the other one lagged behind
Giving way to wild assumptions
And accusations in the mind
In a world where friendships take so long to build
Can we really afford to throw ours away
Driving away the ones we once held dear
To be sad and lonely at the close of day
From adored once to now contemptuous
A burr underneath the proverbial, “saddle”
Seems my mere presence irritates
And all my actions your nerves unravel
From intimate friends to mortal foes
Love and war are juxtaposed
From loving gestures to verbal blows
How it all ends,… nobody knows
