Life is filled with many relationships
You’ve got the predetermined relationships with mother and a father
Whether they continue to flourish or diminish, they are the first we are given
Then comes the friendships, the ones we can choose
Endless conversations, some through verbal or silent communication, and the formation of bonds
But sometimes those friendships turn into something more
Sometimes, if you are truly lucky
They can become a time of neverending bliss: butterflies that flutter at a rapid pace, heart racing, mind tinkering
But what if you were led astray
What if it was all in your head? Am I the one who confused the situation? Did I think one way when in reality it was another?
Were the nights in which we talked for hours on end no more than beneficial to one party
Were you deceiving me
Did I deserve that treatment
While I lay in bed with my heart bleeding down my sleeve
You flourished and triumphed in my despair
My wins turned into yours
My ideas became yours
Are you the ventriloquist?
Was I but a mere puppet in your sideshow attraction? Or merely a lifeline?
You tore my heart? Fool me once, shame on you
Fool me twice shame on…
