a worthless friend

A moment she was here
The next she was gone
Gone off, flown off
For another flower suddenly seemed more beautiful
Always on the move when the need arises
Like a butterfly she is
A worthless friend

You laugh
And she flies at high speed to you
You eat
And she declares unending love for you
You are well
And she claims to be the best you will ever get
But the moment you cry
Off she goes
To the one who laughs like you did
You hunger
And she scurries off
To one who eats like you ate
You are ill
And she vows she has never seen you before
Undecided, insincere
Like a butterfly she is
A worthless friend

Her life is a journey
From one flower to the next
In search of the one with the sweetest nectar
But alas her journey never ends
Her hunger never sated
And so she travels on
To far off lands
Indeed a worthless friend
