Best Friend?

by Boogienights

Betrayal Contest Winner 
I told her all my secrets,
all the things I tried to hide.
About the fear I'm feeling,
my anxiety deep inside.

I talked about the future,
how my dreams just won't come true.
The emptiness that grips me,
till I don't know what to do.

I talked about how safe I felt,
to have her as a friend.
That she was like a sister,
who would be there to the end.

Then, recklessly all was revealed
upon her Facebook page.
The sickness that I felt
was only outweighed by my rage.

I put my trust in her because
I thought that she could see,
beyond the things that held me back,
to the deeper part of me.

No doubt, she meant to hurt me,
a betrayal to be noted.
I want to tell her how I feel,
but my fear has me outvoted.

To betray the trust of someone,
who bared their heart and soul,
is like tearing off another piece
of someone who's not whole.

Is there something to be gained
by tearing others down?
Soon you'll find yourself alone,
with no friends to be found.
