We said
Our bond was indestructible
After five years of friendship
How could it all fall apart now?
But cracks started to appear
Determined to not be like the others
I sealed them back up
Pretending they never existed
I am still convincing myself
We are all perfect
Some of us were murmuring
Saying what we shouldn’t
I kept it all beneath the surface
Never letting anybody know what we’d been saying
I continued to keep what was going on behind the curtains
Completely hidden
Eventually, I became tired
Of tricking the world
Into thinking
We had a tight knitted group
When underneath it all
We are still just people
Held together by the fear of loneliness
I am running towards the horizon
Focussed on stopping the sun setting
On what I thought was the best friendships I’d ever experience
Who knows if I’m wrong
