The words come out
and my world falls down around me
all of my fears have
conjured themselves
from these lines on paper
written in your hand.
Words I cannot believe
yet know are true
in their bitterness and resentment
misunderstanding and ignorance
all this from a friendship
that had become but an illusion
a cruel joke we are playing
on ourselves.

I can't play these games anymore.
Truth and honesty must be restored,
And we musn't be afraid
To let go.
