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.
