Beyond the Masquerade

In shadows cast by false pretense,  
A friend once close, now lost to sense.  
With whispered lies, they played their part,  
A dagger aimed straight at my heart.  
You sent your words, so vile, so crude,  
Yet wore a mask, concealing the rude.  

You spun your tales, so sweet, so sly,  
But truth unveiled, I learned to cry.  
Your laughter masked the pain you sowed,  
A friendship turned to heavy load.  
But truth has a way of breaking through,  
And finally, you confessed what you knew

You tore apart the bonds we shared,  
With every word, you showed you cared.  
But now I stand, my trust betrayed,  
While reputations fade like shade.

The lies unraveled, the facade fell,  
Your gross texts revealed a hidden hell.  
Now I stand, with lessons learned,  
From a friendship scorched, and bridges burned.
