Invisibility can be disheartening when the
People that don’t see you for who you are
Should be the last individuals to mistake your
Sincerity for fakeness or your honesty for hate
Yet it seems that the first and most tenacious
People to discredit your true essence or the
Depiction of that essence are those that we call friends
Or those we consider friends without ever speaking
Of the title because it should be unequivocally understood
That we are down until death because of the nights
We shed tears over the loss of some mutual human
Life or the last dollar that we split so that we both
Would not be hungry or the couch they let you sleep
On when you had no other place to go or even when
You were brave enough to tell them about their
Cheating significant other and yet they choose to
Listen to the lies of those who not only are not
Interested in your well-being but also have shown
Not to be interested in their well-being also but
Still they trudge on, believing the rumors and
Even helping spread the mess, when their souls are
Truly troubled and their spirits are tormented
Because of their disloyalty and their shameless
Lack of faith in you, but even as they awaken at
Midnight in cold sweats and their eyes are deprived
Of the luxury of sleep, they will continue to greet
You as though nothing is wrong and they will continue
To look you square in the face and hide their treachery
And their disrespect behind words and gestures of friendship
But what they really have no clue is that you know
About their deceit and their lack of honesty and because
Of your belief in friendship, you allow the lie to grow
And you allow them to smile in your face as you pull the
Knives from your back that they have so lovingly placed
And as the blood flows you try to remember the good times
And these become meshed with the questions and confusion
Of the motivation to destroy the friendship and you begin to
Question yourself and second-guess your actions and you begin
To replay conversations and situations repeatedly to find that
Defining moment that caused this person that was so close to
You and your heart to want to hurt you.
