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
