Transactional

My father and

 I have a transactional relationship,

I go visit him in his home, 

He speaks to me and

Attempts at a relationship

 

My teachers and 

I have a transactional relationship,

I do my work on time and complete,

They care about me as my own individual

 

I have very rare token economy relationships

Some are with close friends,

Others are with old childhood foes,

I ask them how they are,

They tell me they're great

They also tell me they'll 

Always be there for me

 

I sign a prenup with my other relationships,

If anything goes past this time

We have together, it'll all be dust

I owe you nothing, so you 

Give me nothing

 

We don't share assets

Don't come over for birthdays or parties

I'm not invited to your hangouts

So when we part it doesn't hurt

It's solely a prenup, solely transactional.
