Slip up

I'm drifting farther by the day,

If my friends see it they don't say.

I'm not blind, I can see.

Not even I want to be with me.

We love each other very much,

This is our biggest lie.

We love each other,

Just don't stray

Into emotions

Or they'll send you away.

Absence makes the heart grow harder.

I fear I've been wrong too long.

My love is now paranoid rage.

My heart becomes bitter in just this way.

My love is poison,

It's better I keep to myself.

I can't accept their help.

Not that they offer any.

Just angry looks,

Secret conversations,

Barbed words.

Lies.

We lie and say we're there for each other.

But our emotions get in the way.

We're so wrapped up in our own head,

We leave the ones who need us for dead.

I don't want to go back.

To the snarling snake pack.

I have no choice,

I am just as horrid as they.

I lie to their faces,

And twist their words to poison behind them.

I don't want them to know,

So soon I'll go.

Never to return.
