Was any of that real

or was I just lost in my own head?

I thought we were close enough

that I could be myself

but the more I opened up

the more you inched away

I was too caught up to notice

the space you put between us

until I tried to reach across the gap

and you pulled me in and walked away

Climbing out was a challenge

but here I am standing tall again

just trying to sort out everything

so that I might learn the lessons

this ordeal was meant to teach

But all I’m gettong here

is not to trust a friend

and that can’t be the right takeaway

from this whole ordeal

…cam it?
