My eyes burn with tears
Can't you just leave me alone?
"Stop it."
"Leave."
Why does no one come?
Can't they see
That their beloved friend is
Nothing more than this?
"No."
"Please, why are you doing this?"
Laughter in the distance proves
That your façade is perfect.
Your plan is flawless.

Weeks later.
The event almost forgotten
Tears once again find their place.
"I thought I said never to talk about it."
"Shut-up. You don't know what you are talking about."
A quiet stare is all I need to know
You will never forget.

Now, over a year gone by.
I have left, but I still cannot
Face you or your friends.
I cannot bring myself to
Tell a soul.

I hate you
I hate myself.
