Mask

You came to me many times In distress and in shambles I held you close and gave comfort I let you sadly ramble I was there for you In loneliness, grief, and success You were there for me as well When life gave me the hardest test But what I could not see You hid behind a veil It distorted what I saw It corrupted that which I felt This veil of sorts I would call it a mask Allowed you to take things from me As you creaked in from the back You snuck up behind me You defiled what I confided It wasn't my friendship you were after It was the one that betrayed me in which you were guided This mask it so blocked That which I could not see Your eyes of deceit And your face as it gleamed For the one that was not For the one that was coarse It gleamed for the one That one to whom you showed remorse Of all the time we spent Bonding and growing It is with her now Her now with which you are moaning In the bed which her and I shared Many a heated and passionate night To where my unmentionables were stored In her body so tight Live your life with one eye As it looks out far and beyond For it is I that will be creaking Creaking up behind you one morn.
