Never Ending

Friendship.
It's a delicate subject.
You let your guard down.
They stab you in the back.
How? Why?
I don't know.
They betray you.
Reveals your weaknesses;
That you only shared with them.
Because you trusted them.
Didn't expect it from them.
But it happened.
You're shocked.
Hurt.
You try to hide it.
Don't want them to see you vulnerable.
Inside you crumbling.
Being torn apart;
By emotions you can't control.
You put on a mask;
A blank face;
Not revealing a thing.
They've damaged you;
Something that could take a lifetime to heal.
You begin to doubt yourself;
Your judgment;
Your feelings.
How could they?
Why would they?
These thoughts go round and round in your head.
You're falling.
Down, deeper.
You don't think you can ever stop.
It just keeps going.
