Death Sentence

Death of a friend brings sorrow, one that doesn’t last for tomorrow, Question’s if friendship built on lies, As we call a friend that dies, Not from life, but just from yours, Doors that once were open, are now closed, A friendship you wonder if it was forced, One that was coursed into not having anywhere to go, A friend that seeped in slow, one that went with the flow, The safe becomes dangerous, You say I know you, You say it is true, But my faith, mind, and heart, complicates as the distance grows, I knew you were too good at the start But your lies are like water when it flows, Who really is it you want to be, With us or the lies that lie six feet, To me, It leaves a bitter taste on your tongue of defeat, The work of lies and deceit, Tell me was it worth all the pain and the grief, Now that you will be stuck in the seat, A death sentence is the eye of the beholder, But truly nothing will change the mind's eye, It's easy to fool one's heart when there is a mirage of beauty, But the mask melts to the core is nothing but rotten irony.
