Heart Of The Matter
Sometimes .... 'Friends' We Know ....
Sometimes,
Friends we know,
Are not what they seem,
Stepping out of the nightmare,
Reliving the dream,
The users, abusers,
We learn not to trust,
Infiltrating our lives,
With darkness and dust,
And taking the light,
From deep in your soul,
They lie and they cheat,
Not admitting they stole,
They dazzle with words,
That you're happy to hear,
You're inviting her in?
You have nothing to fear?
Just ask yourselves why,
They have gone to the trouble,
Hitch a ride on your name,
Then they're bursting your bubble,
Now my friendship is over,
I can trust her no more,
You're inviting her in;
and I'm closing my door.
