'I thought we were best friends...'
The thought echoed in my head.
And yet there they were, holding hands, kissing...
And I never even saw it coming; all the signs were there
Yet I denied them as if they were trivial.
It started with my heart; slowly being filled to the brim
with a hatred unlike any other I've ever felt.
Such a cruel hand have I been dealt...
You called it fate, and told me to disappear
So of course I believed you, and did so with a single tear.
And from that single tear were born thousands more.
Watching from the shadows; listening to your laughter.
I would never be the same person as I had been from that moment after.
Paralyzed by the certainty of what had just occurred.
Burned deep within my brain, forever to remain.
I remember when I called you up, and the words that were spoken
"I believe I know how bad you're feeling, for you've just been badly heartbroken"
Those words still echo within the halls of my brain.
And no matter how hard I try to erase them, there they shall always remain...
