You call me best friend
And I hate you
When You do
Cos You Invade me
Like a Parasite
My secret drops of self
Are criticized
Analyzed
Circumcized
Stamped
By unwanted advice
To make me
Like you want me
But I am not
Your FUCKING WONDER TWIN
Just because you stitched
yourself to me
It's not your privilege
To suck out my intimacy
Secrets
Into your system
Expose me to you
Unshield my privacy
Sorry
Bad Luck in Chemistry
But You don't know me
And you won't
Except a puppet with my face

What a great way to tell someone off! I don't have any "best" friends anymore because they really expect too much from me. I couldn't tolerate them for the same reasons you have written here.
