Betrayed
Trust removed
Shattered
Scattered across the floor
Broken glass showering down
Raining from your cruel smile
Friendship forgotten
Obliterated from existence
All words shallow, empty
Turning to dust as they fall from your lips
Lies die young
Excuses fall flat
Facts pierce my heart
With ice cold reality
You look on and watch me burn
In my own self-torture
But no tears will linger for this
Once treasured amity
