Permanent Knife in My Back

Dear Ex-Best Friend,

How does it feel to know

That you once held my heart in your hand?

 

I’m not sure if I can forgive you

Lord knows how hard I’ve tried

But my emotions are long overdue

 

I used to think you hung the moon

Then I found out that your sincerity was fake,

And you took off oh so soon

 

You couldn’t handle the truth-

That you were changing for the worse

No matter how often I showed you the proof

 

So now our relationship is over

We’ve gone our separate ways;

Yet somehow I still seek closure

 

I lost more than a best friend that fateful day

You see, I was falling for you

Listen to these words I never got to say

 

Your smile was growing on me

Your laugh, too

If only you hadn’t cut yourself free

 

I guess we’re destined to be black marks on each other’s lives

Because all you look at with me with now is hatred

And we both believe our backs contain knives

I was inspired to write this piece by the termination of a friendship that used to mean the world to me.
