#backstabber
He was my world But all at once It unfurled On the sidewalk By myself In shock Bloodied and broken And craving words Unspoken Cruel and cold And deep red Bold Slipping and sighing And bleeding out Dying He once held me in arms So strong and firm Hard I thought he'd **** for me But in the end He killed me.

On the Sidewalk
Roses are red, violets are blue, wonder if you'll abandon me too. Say we are friends, stay by my side; don't be like them, the people who lied. Can't help but doubt if each word is true, and yet, I still want to trust you. And if you lie, if you say no, consider me gone, six feet below. For my heart will have burst, my eyes will have cried, my breath will have flown, my soul will have died.

Backstabber
I felt like I was robbed Stabbed Ever since I was eight When I ate And felt good About my childhood So carefree So bother free I was robbed And stabbed In the back With a pitchfork Now, I'm dealing with injuries Heart injuries That never gets better Only poorer As days go by And fly by It gets more tiring And damaging To move To make a move

Childhood Trauma
don't call us “friends” when all you do is pretend act like you don't want to attack but you'll do it behind my back and all i've been was loving and nice but you were threatened by my spice you mistake me for being flirty when you're the who did me ***** telling everyone i'm the one to hate when all i've done was be a good mate so go on and talk **** about me and i get we all have our insecurities but don't be fake and start talking **** hurting other people is just not it words are just as hurtful as fists pain like this can exist on wrists there's too much hate already being hurled when are you gonna realize we need more love in this world? if you're wondering if i'd ever do that to you i don't have the heart to do what you did to me too and in the end, i'd still care about you even if our relationship decides to fall through

"friends"
Who runs the show To create a mess In the game of chess Smart to know The next move, a guess Of the guest Aiming at the chest Scatter by flattering Clattering of the best The enemy is in the nest Feeding the allies with lies and pride Demanding a crest For the services Vest for the bullet But aimed at the head All is at war But still goes to bed

Mole in the Coal
I told her I liked But inside I loved him Then she got him first, so I let her be happy And stayed in the shadows He left our town after they broke They both were fine with it And I was to busy hiding... To see him go He was my one way to heal He saw me and he like I saw him But that girl had to ruin it You're still like a sister to me and I, you But You don' ****** up

My Friends Boyfriend
I am jealous. I am jealous of the way you easily change your faces. They switch so quickly, hardly anyone can keep up. I am jealous. I will admit it, the green monster building inside. How do you live your life, so carelessly. I am jealous and angered. I wish I could be as selfish and cold hearted as you. I wish I could rip the knife out of my back, and stab you too. I am jealous and heartbroken. I cry out in pain, pain that you so ruthlessly inflicted. You think only of yourself, trampling everything in your path. I am jealous and done. I am tired of trying and fighting, fighting for you. I am done wishing that you will be a better person. Now, no one is left to root for you.

jealous of a monster
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
Snakes masquerading as friends... Shed the facade you have crafted; I can see your forked tongue tasting the air.

Serpent
Words may not seem that dangerous The knives on my back appear The words you’ve said about me on each one The thought of your hatred makes me sick Why must you say those things I’ve done nothing to deserve the words said Your words dig deeper into my back I once let you have such power over me Friends forever you once said Now I am your mortal enemy

Broken Friendship
I wish that I could trust you, sometimes I almost do. I crave our old companionship. Why did you have to ruin it? I guess I didn't mean that much, I deceived myself completely. I thought you cared as much as I did. I know that was my mistake. Your only fault is constant disappointment. Maybe I just expect too much. Is it too much to ask for loyalty? Was it too hard to be trustworthy? You deny the whispers spoken behind my back, but don't you know I can feel the slimy betrayal? The knife in my back still hasn't left, not with you constantly pushing it back in. I wish I could trust you, but now I know better than that.

the slippery slope of lost trust
what can't you understand? why can't you see? do you even care how this affects me? hateful words, spite filled phrases twisted up behind a Cheshire cat smile mocking me, haunting me putting me on trial friends are friends until they're not whispered words, behind my back you've been caught was it worth it? your apology will be too late how do you survive without choking on your hate? friends are friends or so they say the truth comes out at the end of the day

no such thing as friends
Trying to show empathy After stabbing someone in the back Is like telling a man with no legs to walk up and down the road Inexcusable and impossible for the other person too forget

Backstabber
I saw you today.. By accident.. Caught me off guard.. Wasen't expecting it.. You looked the same.. Head deep into your phone.. Unaware of what's going on around you.. Restored friendships... With whom you hated... All because I left you alone.. And all because you cant stand... To be alone... Cant say I'm surprised.. You were always high school.. All pom poms on game day.. All talk.. Loose lipped... Knowing nothing of loyalty.. Starved for attention.. Mouth running constantly... To whoever would listen.. Always kind of wide eyed.. And not really there... Yea... Nothings changed... Your still the same... What can I say though.. I have no regrets... Walking away... From a ****** up friendship.. You did me so ***** Like we were in high school.. And if you hadn't noticed... I graduated years ago.. The life you choose to live with you and your kids... Just isn't okay with me anymore.. You hang out with 21 year olds... Girl, your 30... Your Regina George's mom.. Quit playin... This **** isn't funny... I hope you invest all your.. "Extra time" into your kids.. They need you... I'll miss them.. Ill miss you.. I use to love you like a sis... But I grew up... I've outgrown your ******** I've hung up my gown and tassel... Its time for you to do the same..

High School
I couldn't help but look at you In hope that you'd look back I never thought we'd even cross our paths but when we did I didn't expect to end up with a knife in my back

Crossed Paths
Once upon a time, a woman was picking up firewood. She came upon a poisonous snake frozen in the snow. She took the snake home and nursed it back to health. One day the snake bit her on the cheek. As she lay dying, she asked the snake, "Why have you done this to me?" And the snake answered, "Look, ***** you knew I was a snake."

The Woman and the Viper (A fable by Aesop, via "Natural Born Killers")
The knife, through my back, right into my heart, twisted the whole way around. Was she worth it, the girl you gave me up for?

Knife
i was far too kind, i was far too blind, insignificant in your eyes, and it didn't register at all in my mind. you're so pretentious and cold, you think that you're so deep. you say that i sold you out, & that i'm just a brainwashed sheep. you're only compassionate when it's convenient for you, if anyone knows that, it's me. just a selfish ***** a low life **** with a **** personality, no integrity, or originality. you will never be kurt cobain, or layne staley..., sorry to crush your dreams.... but you're just another clone, in a flannel jacket, and ripped jeans... you rant on and on about what's right and wrong, please give me a break, and no, you're not edgar allen poe... you're just a ****** with an over inflated ego... you're so low, and fake.

Pretentious Poet
Maybe the majority of your malice march is fueled with fire; fictionalized by myself. Simply because my greatest desire is currently to avoid knowing that you long to hurt me. Dear, let me tell you this; I know everything.

I Know Everything
Her tongue slid into your mouth, you said you were thinking of me. You grabbed her hips in obedience, you said you were thinking of me. She touched your hair, something that you love, you said you were thinking of me. She saw your birthmark, something that I love, you said you were thinking of me. "It was repulsive," you said you were thinking of me. "I was hoping you'd show." "Please stop crying." "She isn't worth your tears." But, my love, you are worth every tear I shed.

Black Light
When we were younger, we believed the rumors and the lies until we couldn't anymore say goodbye. A little older, we thought the friends we had would be our only relying on the fact they wouldn't get too nosy. When Middle School came around, I was left in the dust crying in self pity because I had once thought of trust. At home that night, I thought of you how you said to me I'd always be your crew. Waking up in the morning fresh and new, I remember faintly of your words and what they used to do.
