Love Poem: Bad Translator

Bad Translator

Sometimes friends can't figure you out,
no matter how hard they try,
they're like a bad translator,
constantly getting words wrong,
ultimately destroying a conversation,
one that you've been persevering to complete,
they just can't get it right,
they get offended when you tell them they're wrong,
and they say you're being mean,
how foolish do you get, you think
when they walk away angry with you
(and probably themselves on the inside)
with their nose in the air 
and the knowlege that you're right and they're wrong,
hanging on their shoulders.
