Toxic
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.

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.
