Watered-Down Juice-Monotetra

A friendship made can often fade I had one that quickly decayed Loyalty was just a charade I was dismayed I was dismayed My eyes did not at first conceive the lies her tongue began to weave Slanderous words that made me grieve I was naive I was naïve She criticized me on twitter Her betrayal left me bitter What a mean gossiping critter Won't acquit her Won't acquit her Cruel, the rumors she had spewed She needs a change of attitude A real friend is never that crude Hateful or rude Hateful or rude Was upset when double crossed Then realized nothing was lost My looks burned her like Winter frost Friendship tossed Friendship tossed They day I told her we were through She said, "I was a friend to you." I walked away because she knew It was not true It was not true From ones like that, I turn away Devious people who betray She taunted like a mocking jay And I, her prey And I, her prey January 5th, 2021 Watered-Down Juice Contest by Edward Ibeh
