Let This Be Over

Earthquakes no longer feel foreign to my body The backstabbings happen more and more lately Different friends and different fantasies that she made up in her head I thought that I trusted what she said but the lies keep getting worse The spiralling stories of the past Rehashed And then rehashed again Each a shock to my body like an earthquake rattling the shore I thought I knew the ones I could trust I thought she was really my friend As each story keeps getting more unreal Each moment told again and again in constant repeat I can’t seem to fathom Her words feel like they are in a box hidden in her closet ready for her to pull out In rage In consequence maybe Maybe everything she does is a calculated plan that knows all details Maybe every word she says is a lie Where she’s from Who she’s talking to I can’t manage to keep up All I want to do is leave her in the dust Emotional women being toxic to each other My mind rambles Let this be over
