It is to darkness I run, <br />It is to darkness I hide. <br />It is to you I reached, <br />It is to you I lied. <br /> <br />You won my respect, <br />Both inside and out. <br />It was with you I wished, <br />Something good would sprout. <br /> <br />I trusted you through, <br />the very thick and thin. <br />Hoping most dearly, <br />that your trust I'd win. <br /> <br />And then I fall short, <br />and realise the miss. <br />I realise it now, <br />How it was me you'd diss. <br /> <br />It hurt so much, <br />so much more than you'd know. <br />Like an executioner's axe, <br />striking the final blow. <br /> <br />I wish I never saw it, <br />and yet I already did. <br />And then I just tell myself, <br />you're just a pathetic kid.<br /><br />Mandy Lee<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/faking-friendship/
