Blood and Water

When your underaged friend
drive 5 hours
to see you for a mere 2,
it makes you wonder how
your parent's don't and leave
you here to stew.

When she rents a hotel room
just to drive home the next day,
it makes you wonder how
your parents can get a free room
but instead stay far away.

It's funny because your parents say
they love you unconditionally,
but it's the friend you met only 3 years ago
who loves you unconditionally.

Blood is thicker than water, they say,
but I would like to point:
the blood of the covenant,
my love,
is thicker than that of the womb.
