Everything is Perfect

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
