You asked me for a favor,
A little lie, a harmless task,
I thought I was your anchor,
Not a tool behind your mask.
You turned my trust into a bridge,
That led you to her secret door,
Now every step feels like a ridge,
Between what we had before.
I played the fool, I held the strings,
Unwittingly, I pulled them tight,
While you danced in hidden rings,
Casting shadows on our light.
You used my hands to build your lies,
But it’s my heart that paid the toll,
I feel the weight behind your eyes,
As if you took a piece of soul.
No longer blind, I see the game,
The roles you cast, the parts we play,
But now I won’t be part of shame
You cheated us, and lost the way.
