Lies

Just the mention of her name
Sends my heart into a turmoil of emotion
That Jezebel that once called herself “friend”

Hours we spent together as one
Guarded secrets shared without thought
Knowing that she was trust-worthy … not

Ask her what happened
And she will say
That the fault lies on my shoulders completely
Maybe it does …

I trusted where I should have been leery
I believed where I should have tread with caution
I loved when I should have tossed her aside

She would take where I willingly gave
She would rip my heart to shreds with a smile
She would take the one person that I needed the most
Herself …

I still remember all those hours we spent
Back and forth in a relationship that I believed in
Never believing for one moment that she would lie

But now I watch in stunned silence
As her lies weave a web of deceit around my existence
Around those that I love and care for
And I am speechless still …

Where is the girl that I once knew
The friend that would always be there
The other part of the girl I grew to be?

All I see now are lies.
