Friend

You laughed and said hello

But your smile was feigned

As you sank the dagger deep

'Tween my shoulder blades

At first I didn't

Feel a thing

Just some numbness from

Disbelief

Must have been the shock

Of your denial

Your words struck a chord

That still resonates

It shook me through my bones

And gave me pause to think

That my friend in fact

Was a creep

Just a cunning, guileful

Enemy

Nothing in the past could have

Warned me of this

My once dear trusted friend

I call you out

You had my confidence

Then you sold me down

A winding river

Of no return

Now your matchstick barge

Of deception burns

And sinks beneath the wake

Sinks beneath the wake

Sinks beneath the wake

Of your betrayal
