You Were A Friend

Sabotage from with is the only thing I fear.
Betrayal from within, I know my time draws near.

The outcast word, the broken mind, things that shame won't mend.
My guilty thoughts, trampled pride, a gift from my old friend.
A smile upfront, a knife behind, for doing what was right.
A guilt soaked soul and harsh tendencies, they set my heart alight.
I tried my best, you did your worst, but I beat you finally,
Even when the smoke had cleared, it was a hollow victory.
Confrontations led to painful words, and meanings still unknown,
A false pretense, a darkened mood, and a disrespectful tone.
Never again shall I do what's right to make it easier on you.
Your selfish ways had betrayed my thoughts on everything I knew.
I shouldn't have to fight a battle I'll never win, just to lose those I've never had.

  • When an old friend goes a new friend comes

    Probably much better of without them
    I will make the world a better place...with my own, two hands.
  • i hate friends of convenience
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key

    great piece.I'd like to share it with my male friends that have betrayed me by trying to hook up with me.
    Friends should stay friends,...lovers-lovers.
