They stab you when you're not looking
They snicker when you've just entered the room
They gossip behind your back
Yet stand before you and smile, calling you friend.
They seduce your mates Right under your nose
They spew off nothing but hate
and lies while you're comfortable feeling you have this family of friends around you.
One day the light flickers on in your mind's eye
You are suddenly aware of the treachery surrounding you.
Soon you find that they have played you a fool
You turn to one that you believed forever you could trust.
One that you love dearly and whole-heartedly
Only to find they are still stuck in the cloud of deceit.
Your heart is torn with which way to turn now
Suspicions arise and you sit back and let it ride.
The price we pay for popularity, friendships that we think are true and what we perceive as everlasting love and trust.
Soon turns to the biggest mistake of your life
as the world as you know it turns to dust.
You're now the target of rage and fury
None come to your defense who know the truth
You remain appearing strong to the faces of the enemy.
Yet silently cry and feel your heart torn to shreds inside.
The day will come when the truth shall be known
The day of reckoning
Your name shall be cleared to those that finally see
Yet the friendships lost, still can never be.
