A glance too sharp , a word too blunt; Betrayal: A labyrinth of friendship

They began on solid ground Two friends, close and carefree No cracks, no doubts, just trust Simple, unbreakable, or so they thought But shadows don’t announce themselves They crept in, quiet, unnoticed And the air between them began to shift They walked side by side But the road wasn’t as clear as before A maze took shape Twists and turns that neither saw coming Secrets whispered, truths twisted The lines between them blurred They drifted further into the labyrinth Each step deepening the divide They felt it – the weight of unspoken words The growing distance, the tension rising Moving together, yet worlds apart Lost in a maze of their own creation But here’s the twist: It wasn’t shadows, it wasn’t the maze One had been holding the map all along Leading the other in circles Guiding them into the darkness While pretending to be lost too Trust, so simple, and untested Wasn’t betrayed by circumstance But by a careful hand Crafting the maze, they were trapped in Now, they stand at the end The map burned; the truth exposed What was once golden Is now twisted A web of deception beneath their feet So, what will they do? Can they ever find their way back Or is the labyrinth their final destination?
