You were once here.
Giving each other support through the years
We knew our boundries
Gave each other space
Distance didn't deter us
We continued where we left off.
You see me
I see you
In the years we have changed
Our lives moved forward
Friendship is blind
Didn't I see it?
My burden to carry
Was it real for you?
It was for me.
But you were my drug
You hurt me
Did I know you?
Maybe so, but closed my eyes
Did I not support you
Agree with you
Comfort you
There for you
I told you my secrets
You told them to others
The destruction began
When I opened my eyes
To look into each person's eyes
Your family
Your friends
Do they look through their eyes at me during my worst times
I choke now on the secrets I spoke to you
Gag on the trust given freely
Ashamed for doing it again and again
Hollow knowing that trust and friendship don't go together
You turned me into a gossiping school girl
Eye for an eye
Spill my secrets, I'll spill yours
But I have honor
With this I put the needle and spoon down
Not waiting for you to spin it to my fault
You became a wisp of a memory
Fading away
