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.
