Falling around me, tears you can't see
How could you do this to me?
Cold metal on my wrists, I just can't believe this
Give my future a goodbye kiss
Read me my rights, tell me not to fight
Damn, I'm scared to go home tonight
You turned me in, my best friend
Is this where the good times come to an end?
Don't you remember the ways we used to laugh
Stayin' up late, is that all in the past?
In the back of the car with the flashing lights
I close my heart, holding back the fight.
I wanna fall to my knees, I wanna fall apart
I wanna pull this knife from my back thats piercing my heart
I wanna scream at you and make you feel this pain
I wanna drown myself in these tears and rain
You heard all my most secret wishes, my almost sister
We had such a tight bond, you were the listener
When no one else seemed to hear my words
How could this possibly get much worse?
My heart is breakin' and I don't think you care
You threw me out when you said you'd be there
What the hell was going through your mind
When you decided to destroy my life
So here I am at twelve-years-old
On probation because you told
Blew a simple mistake all out of proportion again
Yeah girl, you really were some best-friend

This is interesting. I like the flow of the poem, I really especially like these lines "I wanna fall to my knees, I wanna fall apart,I wanna pull this knife from my back thats piercing my heart,I wanna scream at you and make you feel this pain,I wanna drown myself in these tears and rain." Probably my favorite lines out of quite a few poems I have read. It is a terrible thing to be betrayed. I know it more than ever. Nice write. Thank you for entering my contest, and good luck.
