You laughed and smiled
Like we were meant to be
The best of friends
You held my hand
Like you would never
Let me fall
Listened to me
As I spilled my life
I trusted you
With my secrets, my soul
I never doubted
That you would let go
I never saw that knife
You held behind your back
The next thing I knew
It was sent through my back
Searing pain
Shot through my mind
The sadness and confusion
Overwhelming
As I staggered, watching
You walked away; and,
Just like the old days
You laughed and smiled.
