Scars

Shattered glass Awakes the scars on my back Splitting the seams it seems- I’m falling out of line. I was there for you Through thick and through thin No matter how big the mess I was always there But was it enough? You’ve changed We both have What once together made the strongest friendship Now violently clashes in a cut throat battle Where neither one of us will forfeit. I drew a fine line bordering you and I And you crossed that line. I held my tongue til I tasted blood All the while you shot at me You knew just how hard you could pull my strings But I'm done, I’m finished And I’m taking back control. In the end we wave our blood stained flags But each time I know you will stab me again You drew the last straw. I can’t wait around for you to come around I cannot give up I see you trying not to see me Acting like I’m not even here Let’s just sit here and ignore the elephant in the room As it tramples over what we worked so hard to build But I know what you’re thinking And you’re in just as much pain as I am I can see right through your plastic armor You’re not hard to read my dear. You’ve pushed me too far I caught you off guard Held the blade to your throat But in your eyes I read the pain And it is a mirror of mine I drop the dagger and walk away It’s not worth it We are only killing ourselves It hurts me to leave Believe me I’m dying But staying only salts the wound. What once was will never be You and me Just a small chapter in my life Its time to move on to another I’ve learned that you never loose a friend, never You just simply learn who your real friends are.
