No amount
Of banging my head
Against the wall
Will help
Only the simple truth
And so, I told it
Two people switched places
I know the decision
Was right
But it doesn't take away
The pain I had caused
And am now causing
Secrets are not worth keeping
She was sad and angry
And is now feeling good
But my friend was flying
On top of the world
And is now drowning
In her own ocean of tears
And my hand
That is reaching out
Appears to her
As if it is made of snakes
And covered in poisons
This can't be goodbye
But maybe
I'm just too stubborn
To see that it already is

This poem breaks my heart - it is gut-wrenching. I'm glad this is all fiction or I might be crying now too.
lots of loss here...the last two lines really bring it home
hmm, u have spoken so beautiful...as one who has experienced this...you've hit it on the nail..
Beautifully written, Chris.
