A Friend That Never Was

A friend that never was! Conceived, grown in the same height and mind. All along you've been too close. Made myself available to you all the time. Didn't hesitate to respond to your callings. Was so fast, Soothed and excited by your temporal benefits. Knowing exactly of my desires. In a snap of a finger, you did turn my heart all around. At the delivery door of my heart, Flooded me with wrapped gifts. A friend that never was! Covered in pitch black clothe. Seated at the corner, Ready to attack day and night. Thought you were a shadow of no harm. Look what you've done! Stripped my inner part naked, Setting free the hidden monster, from the chambers of my heart. Without mercy you've come out, Not minding of my reputation to friends, family and society. Made me feel secure in wickedness, "No one sees you" was your daily dose to my conscience. Your wisdom and knowledge led me astray. Made me love pleasure, seating securely. On my way to death. Oh!What a friend? A friend that never was! Seated comfy, leaning on your back. Looking at the sharp nails that torn my heart apart. Left deep scars in my skin. Tears in my eyes Grief to my soul Glitch sound in my ears. I thought you were a friend! Here in the mirror, I stand, All along it was you, I. I lead myself deeper than the abyss of death, A man who has lived a life of rebellion, With Clubs in his hands. Stiff Neck, blasphemous heart. Here standing, hopeless and weak. But Christ still died for me and my sins, Gave his life, succumbed to death, To Save such a rebel. Today, here I stand in awe! Knowing my sins have been atoned for. I will forever live in praise to, A friend that never was!
