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
