Beyond the Masquerade

In shadows cast by false pretense, A friend once close, now lost to sense. With whispered lies, they played their part, A dagger aimed straight at my heart. You sent your words, so vile, so crude, Yet wore a mask, concealing the rude. You spun your tales, so sweet, so sly, But truth unveiled, I learned to cry. Your laughter masked the pain you sowed, A friendship turned to heavy load. But truth has a way of breaking through, And finally, you confessed what you knew You tore apart the bonds we shared, With every word, you showed you cared. But now I stand, my trust betrayed, While reputations fade like shade. The lies unraveled, the facade fell, Your gross texts revealed a hidden hell. Now I stand, with lessons learned, From a friendship scorched, and bridges burned.
