I Used To Be Beautiful

I Used To Care

Someone would cry and I’d be there to comfort them.

I would tell them everything would be okay.

I would go out of my way,

Spewing lies from my sugar-coated lips,

To make things better.

They would smile and thank me.

They were my friends.

Slowly they began to turn,

I would say something in confidence to someone;

Someone I trusted.

Then my secret problem became known to all.

When I shed tears, no one helped; no one cared.

That is when I made my vow.

Now when they cry, I watch with mild amusement.

I smirk with devilish lips, my forked tongue hidden behind its toothy cage.

I thought this would be hard, but it was simple.

I used to care.

Not anymore.
