#backstabbed
A friend so fair and bright, With words that cut like a knife. They'd stab me in the back, With lies and deceit in their track. Their smiling face, a mask of deceit, Their heart, a pit of greed and hate. They'd take my trust, and break my heart, With every word, they'd tear us apart. Their loyalty, a mirage in the sand, Their friendship, a poisoned brand. They'd whisper lies in my ear, And laugh as I shed a tear. But still, I'd hold on to the hope, That one day, they'd change their scope. That they'd see the harm they've done, And make amends, before the sun. But alas, it's just a dream, For they are lost in their own scheme. And I am left to weep and mourn, The loss of a friend, forever torn.

Backstabbing *****
The worst traits to have in a relationship, I'm chalked full of 'em Might have all of 'em Been awhile since I counted 'em Kinda lost count of 'em Then lost track of 'em Surely didn't embrace 'em But didn't try to erase 'em Look I was either born with 'em Given 'em Or backstabbed with 'em Then blamed for having 'em Now all I'll I'm left with is 'em ©2024

I cleansed the knife you stabbed in my back and cauterized my bleeding wounds with it.

.cauterize.
Why did you leave, my good friend? I miss your poisonous voice that is swimming in my thoughts. Why are you disappointed my dear? Isn't it enough to intimidate Every inch of my broken nails?

GOOD FRIEND?
you thought it wouldn’t hurt anymore it wasn’t supposed to when they took advantage of you again or stabbed you in the back but no matter how many times you built up your wall it was never thick enough to stop the knife -Esther Krenzin

knife
This is my life force my only life force A pill that would make my pain go away A pill that sends me to my own dimension A pill that makes me fly so high that I can feel the stars at the tip of my fingers As I float to deep space I realize there's nothing to breath in and found myself gasping for oxygen that sweet sweet oxygen as I hold on for dear life until I realized that I've been back stabbed by my life force my only life force

I swear I never seen an enemy Because many friends claim their true With their hands covered in my blood I swear yu think I did it too The smile of friend Who swore they always there And a mother saying baby Be careful who you trust A wolf is always there

You Don't ******* Know Me
He passes that gold chalice down Full of wine redder than the blood you share. He knows you can make everything gold but drinking this only once will ruin those chances- And he hands it to you with a smile on his face. His own blood made into wine Through those iron bars on your window Supposed protection from this deadly spell. This opportunity for you to become one yourself An alleged King But only to oneself

I tried to grab the rose I wanted it’s beauty I wanted it’s petals I wanted it’s symbolism I realised that my flaws drew a schism I waited for the perfect moment to pick I came back to get it I saw it’s stem so slick I reached for the rose when I thought I was ready to I reached for the rose when I thought it was the best time I reached for the rose when I thought that it wouldn’t stab me It has spines like a rose I feel my blood flowing through my wounds I feel my love flowing through my wounds I feel my love flowing through my wounds

This is a time When a man Needs to eat a full chicken And flesh he can’t afford Let him go for an egg That is a full chicken From a life chicken Poor innocent man Just saved a chicken from the knife Man with his muscular knife and fork is such a BACKSTABBER FOLKS

Knives and Forks
I reached for the stars, And I think I may have reached too far. The stars, they blistered and scorched my hands, While I was just trying to understand Of why in the first place I was there; Up in space throwing a glare at the moon. The moon who shun a godly, divine light, And at night Who was so bright, white, And elegant. Space who was dark, and as dim as my soul: The colour of ash and coal. I was just trying to obtain a stupid goal That I had. And the moon was white, and the space was black. The stars were gold and I had my back Towards the earth. But the gold stars and the white moon were not all that When they brought down an evil wrath On me. So the sun, who I actually feared, Cradled and held me near. Rocked me from side to side and called me dear. Circled the earth and formed a year To teach me that looks can be deceiving, Misleading, And can lead to infinte internall bleeding.

Deceiving Space
I gave you your eyes, Showed you the blue in the sky, Why in the hell did I bother to try? You make her laugh when she wants to cry, You never let go when you say your goodbyes, When you **** your body's her lullaby. And when you both wake up, it's not luck that binds you together: It's the lies that you told me And the ties here that hold me And your false promises that sting me so coldly.

I have tried too many times reaching out my hand with no kind returns pulling back my hand to find just broken fingers, scars, and burns

too many times
It's gospel isn't it? Your quiet complacency Out sick in the bathroom but still you seem to laugh at me Your imperial intent and millennial mind Only seem to distance you from being anywhere close to 'fine' You sold out your soul to a bipolar lover you Swore off your friends and told yourself you'd never need another You broke my heart there in your damp summer clothes You said it wasn't personal but i know that I know that I know that I'm not supposed to suppose anymore That you might feel better if you just shut that door You can give him your world but you can't keep me in yours So I won't come around if you knock on my door anymore The summer you met were the coldest months I've known Ice in your eyes winters breath filled your home The mess that we made still hangs round my head Thorny black crown of the words I never said But now here we sit in a 4x4 bathroom stall Tell me it's fine that morning will fix it all Tears in your eyes your hands in your lap But it won't get better if you keep running back But I'm not supposed to suppose anymore So you'll keep on going back to his door You can give him your world but you can't keep me in yours So I won't answer when you come to my door

Gospel
Im sick of being played with, back stabbed, and broken Ive given my all But still seem to be left in the ocean I haven't shed tears like this or felt this way in a while All i can see is Her lips, face, and her eyes when she smiles Her hair, laugh and her voice with her style This time will probably take more time than a while I thought this time would be tangent But ended up drifting too quick I thought it was true But just ended so quick I only want what is best So please just tell me your sick Tell me your tired Cause i sure as hell know i am And i ain't down with this **** Im sick of the shady And all of the games So i shut out the lights And Deal with the pain Ill stay in the dark And Consider it rain Cause this loves got me soaked And i'm in need of a drain

Cold knife (Haiku)
Betrayal is the closest friend and the most eager lover. Betrayal is the whetted apathy towards the willow tree that lay in the rubble of old letters and scents. Betrayal feels nothing but joy in itself, blinded by its ignorance. Betrayal is the abrasive hug and the facile drawings of a thundered smile. Betrayal feeds the poppies and waters the corpse. Betrayal is the closest friend and the most eager lover.
