She was my friend, 

And I was hers too,

We laughed and we cried,

Before I ever saw you.

 

You crawled deep inside,

The girl I thought I knew,

Or maybe you’ve always lived there,

And I never had a clue.

 

Her mind has been corrupted,

Her heart has turned stone cold.

Yet I never saw her change,

Even even after I was told.

 

She pushed everyone away,

From herself, and from me.

She said it was her love,

Oh, how could I not see?

 

Then she stole me away again,

And chained me with my guilt,

I was trapped in her new prison,

That I knew that I had built.

 

And when I finally woke up,

From my childish dreams,

I could never beileve, again,

That she could be redeemed.

 

She was my friend, 

And I was hers to deceive,

Because you poisoned her mind,

And I was too naive.


The author's comments:

I wrote this poem shortly after the end of a 2-year long friendship. I ended the relationship after realizing that I was in an unhealthy relationship; my friend didn't see me as her equal, but as a way to get what she wanted. I'm now much happier without her, even though it was very hard at the time.
