You laughed and said hello
But your smile was feigned
As you sank the dagger deep

'Tween my shoulder blades
At first I didn't
Feel a thing

Just some numbness from
Disbelief
Must have been the shock

Of your denial

Your words struck a chord

That still resonates
It shook me through my bones
And gave me pause to think

That my friend in fact
Was a creep
Just a cunning, guileful

Enemy
Nothing in the past could have
Warned me of this


My once dear trusted friend
I call you out

You had my confidence
Then you sold me down
A winding river

Of no return
Now your matchstick barge
Of deception burns

And sinks beneath the wake
Sinks beneath the wake
Sinks beneath the wake

Of your betrayal
