The Pretender

I just found out that you are not a friend, I try so much to show you affection, instead you present me with dejection, Sorrows and joy are difficult to blend, I thought our mingling will have a good end, Lies and malice have been your selection coupled with theft leading to rejection, Vices covered with smiles just to pretend. Deadly intentions hidden from the eyes, To control and rule others you aspire, Your kindness and sweet words are in disguise, Your evil thoughts and deeds put me on fire, making some probes and problems to arise, This quagmire and pain,I do not desire.

It's not good to find out about this especially if it's a friend we once admired. Nicely done. Congrats.
