My Best Friend

You -

When I first met you i didn't know much about you
I didn't know who you were
When you came all my friends became unhappy
They asked me to leave you
I knew they were jealous

My Mother, My Father, everyone hated you
My Sister, My Brother, everyone disliked you

But you always helped me
You got me out of trouble
Whenever i got in to a mess
You were the quickest answer in my mind

You were the best thing i ever knew

But then one day, I saw your face
You reminded me of something evil
Something bad
Something dark
Something sad

And then it suddenly struck to my mind
You were the stranger in the mirror all this time

Then I questioned myself
As to where i had gone wrong?
My friends and parents were right
And I was wrong

I looked back to see my friends and family in misery
The facade had disappeared and the truth was clear

What seemed to me a happy friendship all along
Was a dirty trick - a conspiracy on his own

I went to the mirror and pointed to my reflection
He replied, i was the one to blame
I chose to see what he showed me
I refused to believe what my loved ones said

I then confessed i was wrong all along
but what was to be done?
The reflection was a part of me

That very night
I went to the mirror
The reflection was bemused to see a knife in my hand
He laughed at me and said
No knife can kill me, for i am your reflection.

I smiled and cut off my tongue
He screamed and burned in pain
Blood dripped from my mouth
As I stood elated in pain

I said to him as he was dying

You were my best friend
You always helped me out of trouble
You always came to my aid
You rescued me from any consequences
Now all the pain is yours to take

Goodbye - All my Lies .
