Betrayal
We were colorful birds
Shared some beautiful memories together
But when jealousy crawled silently next to you
Selfishness wrote messages on your face
And insecurity became your usual vocabulary
I stole the stars to make you happy
Even the moon smiled at our friendship
But you misguided my peace
Buried me beneath the earth crust
And offered some strokes against my heart
I called you "Friend"
But you came like a snake
Hissing day and night
Searching for a prey to devour
You naked me when I thought of being clothed
