Once

She smiles as a tear streaks down her face
She looks at the memories that were once her everything
Once upon a time when she told herself that this would never leave
Once when they were the only thing that kept her from shattering
Now they held the hammer that will shatter her
How did the tables turn so quickly
She screamed
Screaming inside her mind
Because of the daggers piercing her soul
Pondering how those who once were the ones who she let into the darkest parts of her mind would break her
The ones who had unlocked her soul and held her safe in their heart
And she was confided in theirs
Once
Now she had slowly been shut out of the doors to their heart
With each turn of a lock her heart tore
Another hit with the hammer
Unknowingly?
Maybe. but how could someone cause so much precise damage without a target
She feared the final hit with hammer
The one that would bring their once eternal friendship to an abrupt end
Once they were unbreakable
Once

What happened?

I don't know how long I can last in this hateful place 

These words they rip at my soul 

The ignorance of what is happening here

The hate drawn from silence 

The glances of judgment 

What happened to the bond that would never break

The promises we made

The secrets that were shared in the hard place

I thought we would never part 

But that thought has long left my mind 

I don't know how we will make it

This drought we are in

It's tearing us at the seams 

To never be mended 

You saved my from falling to pieces 

Now you may cause it
I never thought we'd be here 

We were once so strong 

Now on the brink of desolation and death
