Oh my! Gurgle. OH!

Ears burning as sound echoes

Betrayed by ice-cream

“I never really loved you”

you were lying to yourself when you murmured those words but I let you cling to them

clutched in your palm

gripping tight

to a past you never had

"Trust me" trickles slowly off of his lips and eagerly jumps into my ear

He always said that.

With no support to his words, they hung loose, dangled into a room full of nothing.

.....and yet each time was like the first time, each time I fell foolishly for the same words that had so badly burned me.

With hope that in time my scars would disappear by a change in his character

They never did.

More formed...

......and a lot remains

Twist

His captivating eyes, finding their way to mine, looked like the most beautiful sky crossed with liveliest vine and I was mesmerized.

Oh my- with his hair of gold and perfect mold, -if only I'd done what I was told, I wouldn't feel more than she does for him, by tenfold.

He chose her, you see and she tried to warn me. I should've saw the signs but I kept thinking, "Perhaps this one time, I could get the guy without my demise."

So who do you put blame on for this love story gone wrong

Him- I couldn't even if I wanted to

Her- I love her too much and there wasn't anything she could do.

So I'm left with me. Yes, I betrayed myself...for being so blind, for not listening to my screaming mind, sometimes wishing I could rewind, but not to undo what's been done and not to stop what's yet to come but to tell myself he's not mine.

How may nights when I was tired from my day did I stay up to take your pain away?

How many lonely messages did I return when you had nowhere else to turn?

Who was always there for you when you wanted life to end? The one you called a friend?

But here I am alone now with the world crashing down.

Do I hear peep? Do I hear a sound?

All I hear is nothing from my so called friend.

For in the closing moment when our friendship is at it's end.

I'll Find someone else to lean on and depend.
