Crystal Clear

like a droplet of everlasting water
floating on an infinitive lake
you are see-through

all of the lies, coming from you
your poor, selfish rumors
so consistent

what have I done to you in life
to make you treat me
like I am not human

for all that you have and will cause
what have I done to deserve
this

like a drop of ego that spreads throughout the soul
making it poisonous and broken
soul of no living things

the evil that was so strong, so terrible
that you would turn
on your best friend

is your heart like glass, fragile,
that is broken by hate
so that it shatters

what was once beautiful and clear
has broken to pieces
because of you

that beauty of a crystal blue lake
is poisoned by pollution
and greed

you would rather live a life alone with lies
then have a true
friend

I want to reach out to you and protect you
for all you've done
I still care

I don't want to see you drown
sinking in the darkness
of evil

or see you harshly slashed
by your own words
and hurt

I want to see you getting better
becoming who you really
are

I want you to be beautiful again
beautiful like a lake that's
crystal clear
