My world is crumbling around me
Every layer is eroded into dust
The pieces float around taunting me
With whispers of love, hatred, and lust

Friendship
Such a simple thought
But feelings can change
And years become naught

What was a shining bond
Now feels like a wound
Scratched and scarred
And carelessly bound

Tearing at my stomach
And clawing at my hair
Pain slices whenever I look up
But I can’t help but stare

At the face I had once known
One who was there in the beginning
The first to wrap his arms around me
The first one I was dating

The only first kiss I could ever have
He took from me
And now you slither in
As a tear falls down my cheek

You drag him away
Into the blindness of your mind
And I get pulled the other way
As a part of me begs to die

That tiny part screams
For something to be wronged
For me to stop trying
For me to shatter that bond

A million shards
My brain wants me to be
Glittering in the sun
With a notion of possibility

But I can’t untie the knot
That had once been strengthened every day
My heart can’t bear the sight
and I can’t cut my eyes away
