ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS

ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS
in the world
has become "official"
with a girl
now she buys him beer
lends him the car
and answers his phone when I call
she pretends
like we're cool
but we're not cool
I'm jealous
and I'm not a jealous guy
I'm pissed off
that she's making it easier
for him
this friend and I
we've always struggled together
we've solemnly and silently
agreed to hate this life, equally
we built a fantastic friendship
off of our comprehensive self loathing
and I liked that
but I don't like her
I don't like anything about her
maybe I'm just angry
or drunk
or both
but this girl
this girlfriend of his
she's ruining my day
and I'm starting to like it
