One lie
One harsh lie
One to drive apart
A friendship from months ago
A love only barely cultivating
Barely more than a month old

A liar
Her betrayal scarred
Scarred a friend
And their honor

She lied and tried to take him down
He told the truth and was called a liar
Now he is alone there
He is secluded from them

Her betrayal slashed across him
A **** appeared
One so deep
He needs a new heart

His walls were brought down by her
He trusted her
He trusted her with everything
And she took that and burned it
Threw it into the mud
Soiled the purity and innocence he had with her
Every moment of joy he felt with her
Gone in a second

But he never broke down in front of her
They would never see him shatter
And collapse from her
Not ever
He instead turned to friends
Asked for help and got some
But he turned to himself

A razors' edge on his body
Red trails followed it
Slowly he watched the red as it fell
Splashed across the floor and left even more red paint
He simply stared at the puddles
The sting was nothing more than a numb throb
He couldn't let them see him like this
Breaking down and bleeding

He hid himself
Didn't let anyone see
His collapse and descent
From calm and cool and collected
To broken and shattered and crumbled

He didn't want anyone to see this
So he wrote this
Self harm is a serious issue and if you think someone is harming themselves, offer help; even a shoulder can save someone. This poem is both from my experience and my friends'.
