Accidental moments of eye contact
Across the room
Are the ruins left
From what was once a breathtaking temple.
A knife in my back
Went straight through my heart
And stained the memories we made
With crimson paint.
The problems you caused
Paralysed my brain
With the pain of betrayal.
The only solution I could conjure
Was to pretend you never existed.
I fought to build our friendship
Back.
But every time the walls collapsed
And I realised,
A plaster can\'t heal a crumbling monument.
If you didn\'t tarnish
Our scintillating bond
Maybe it wouldn\'t have
Ended this way.
