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
