Friendly Poison

A Poem by Krisbeta

Innocent smiles
Bright shining eyes
Not seeing the poison
That beneath it all lies
Not knowing the fate of a friendship new-born

Together they fight for familial ties
Yet together their rights are smothered in lies
Then towards the end the fights turn around
They battle each other, standing their ground
Again they grapple
And again they reconcile

But never again can sure trust be reached
For now the poison has through it all seeped
As they grow ever distant
Through time and through space
The poisoned friendship
Shall always remain

Staining their lives
In the future and past
Lurking within
Forever keeping its grasp

Lost broken smiles
Darkness filled eyes
Now seeing the poison
That beneath it all lies
Now mourning the fate of a friendship once worn
