I thought I knew her,
A thread woven into the seams of my life,
Six years, could I have been that blind?
To all the whispers I silenced,
To all the cracks I mended in vain.
She stood beside me or so I believed,
But every smile was hollow,
Every promise a fleeting breath.
Was I her friend or just a shadow?
Always waiting, always the second choice.
I called her my constant,
But now I see
She was never really there.
For every secret I shared,
She hid a thousand lies,
Her words, once warm, now sting like salt in a wound.
How could she claim she cared,
When every action whispered otherwise?
The time I thought was ours
A facade, a fragile thing.
Her loyalty, like sand slipping through my fingers,
Leaving me standing alone in the ruins of what we called friendship.
I fought for us,
But maybe I was fighting alone.
Maybe I was holding on to an illusion,
To a person who never truly existed.
The girl I thought I knew
Is gone.
Or perhaps, she was never really there.
Today, I bury the lies,
I bury the past,
And all the memories I once held so dear.
I'll walk away from the girl I thought she was,
Because everything I knew about her until today
Was a lie.
