Deceit

How do I say this without sounding vain,
who am I to say anything.
We have known each other for almost five years,
through all of the rough times, and all the cheers.
I was always there when you needed to talk,
but, when I needed you, you were ready to walk.
You used and abused me, time and time again,
So, I can say honestly, you were never my friend.
I walked in your shadow, so that only you could shine,
but, that's over now, it is my time.
I watched you destroy your family and other friends,
Starting with your husband, then onto your kids.
When does it stop?
Where does it end.
You can't start over, and expect to begin.
Your hands are of fire, and your tongue is a whip.
Here's your wake-up call,
now get a grip.
You're falling further and further, in your own web of lies,
no more friends for your alibies.
We've all had enough, and it's time to part,
you no longer hold a place in my heart.
You are a disease, that is now cured.
There is no relapse, of that, I am assured.
And as for your family, I cannot say,
Maybe, just maybe, they can forgive you some day.
