We were best friends for life, but you ruined it.
You’ve been distant and jaded for months so when you left your phone, I took my chance.
My heart breaks reading the truth. No dark secrets, just years of anger at my existence. "Keep your enemies closer" you said.
I watch you return to our last supper. You watch me place your phone where I found it, unlocked.
As you slowly take your seat, I leave mine. I don’t look back and you don’t call me.
We almost made it but you’re the devil and I’m not wicked enough.
