By Spence
I used to smile,
If even to hide
The conquering sadness
Which I kept inside.

I used to know you;
You'd know me the same.
With you I'd forget
A whole world of pain.

As if for a moment
Reality'd break,
And for the very first time,
Those smiles weren't fake.

For the very first time,
I felt really there
To be there for you,
And I really did care.

And scared as I was,
I tried hard to hide
My feelings for you
That grew deep inside.

Then, not from my words,
You finally knew,
And all of my fears
Had finally come true.

Far worse than the worst
Harsh words you could call.
Far worse and most painful...
Nothing at all.

Like knives, pins, and needles
Piercing my heart,
In silence and darkness,
Myself torn apart.

In time things progressed,
And though I was glad,
I still feared I'd ruin
The friendship we had.

When all of a sudden,
It happened again.
Sparked from a lie
From my very best friend.

Giving no reason
For what he had done,
My own best friend lied
To everyone.

At me, you were mad...
My heart, split in two,
Was shattered to pieces...
I died losing you.

I know you've been hurt;
I've nothing but cared.
I can't hold back tears
When I can't be there.

Lost, all alone,
I'm dead to the core.
I'd crack a fake smile...
But I can't anymore. Poem: Roses and Razorblades 1
