Friendship of Lies

You allowed me to trust you and I believed in your words. The sincerity in them broke down walls so I trusted you. You knew my past yet you cemented yourself in my present Knowing you had no intent of being in my future. I gave you me but it never was quite good enough. I was just your well-kept secret to pass the time. Who knew your heart belonged to the woman you call wife And that the person I fell for would never really be mine? You knew of the hurt and abuse that men gave me Yet you didn't care because you gave me the same. The person I got to know is not the real deal; That is saved for the person you chose to give your last name. What have I done to you for you to use me? Why involve me in all of your lies and deceit? Why was I the lucky one chosen So you can sneak behind her back to cheat? You had me going thinking I was special. Like Storm, you created a fog I couldn't see through. I felt the lies but believed the words So it's more on me than it is on you. I gave my heart to you, broken and torn. I asked you to take care of it for me. Your words implied promises never meant to be kept Because you took my heart only to destroy it completely. Now I hate you; we can't even be friends, There's absolutely no point in pretending. It hurts a lot but we are irreparable And my heart is past the point of mending.
