You denied me?

A whisper soft, a secret shared,
To you, my friend, I truly bared.
My heart, my fears, my hidden dreams,
We shared them all, it truly seems.

But then the words, like shattered seeds,
We're planted where they shouldn't be.
My private pain, a public show,
A whispered laugh, a knowing glow.

I turned to you, with tear-filled eyes, 
"Did you betray me with these lies?"
You looked away, a force so cold,
" I didn't say it," you bravely told.

My secret's out, my trust is gone,
Left standing here, completely alone.
The friend I knew, a fading gleam, 
A broken promise, a shattered dream.
