She's a Friend---Not

In your process of mourning, the deliberate loss of a friend You must think of the past, from beginning to end You need to sift through the why's and what for's To answer your questions to close open doors To discover and realize, some things that you thought but never said 'No' to this friend, that is not Let the moments of evil flood into your mind Remember, see the pattern that's emerging, to find Each on their own, unimportant in thought but put them together, the betrayal is caught Dig deep inside cause somewhere you knew Right in your face all along, it was you Your threatening charm, seeing only the good The girl next door, the guys understood Why didn't you see? What took you so long? You wanted to believe! Your denial so strong! Your desire to keep, this group as a whole Drove you to sacrifice who you are, in your soul In hind sight your instincts, you felt from the start You didn't listen, instead followed your heart To accept with blind faith, the bad with the good an oath to yourself, your loyalty stood A friend you loved so, you gave over an inch but more than a mile, she took What a cinch! You made it too easy bowing down, being kind "You taught her how to treat you." To yourself, in your mind Now you are wiser and onto these tricks you've learned to take notice and never take licks Strong in mind, to let hypocrisy in Too kind to lash out, make her pay for her sin So "Cut the cord" and "sever the ties" You'll live without her and all of the lies though she won't see, the lesson to learn Karma is real and you know, it's her turn
