Smothered
By Claude Weidner

Why does one need
others in our life
Heart mostly bleeds
cuts like a knife.

People seem to act
as if they care
What an impact
our lives impaired.

Friendly to your face
malevolent behind your back
Make you feel displaced
catch them in their act.

If we'd all be true
to ourselves and others
Heart would accrue
wouldn't feel smothered.
