List of Names
Because of so many
Who like to cause pain
Here is a list
Of those people's names
One was a friend
or so I had thought
Until they left me
Alone in the drought
I stood by their side
When their life ran thin
And they told me a secret
Only known by their kin
But when the next girl
Came along in their life
They tossed me away
And left me with strife
One was a peer
Who I knew not to trust
But yet I still did
I was drunk off of lust
They twisted my words
Played dirty, unfair
They watched all my moves
Replicated my fare
I fell for their trap
And I cried at their feet
But they never forgave me
For my tears were their treats
So I sit here now
Feeling beyond betrayed
Writing down treacheries
And a list of their names
