A friend has hurt me behind my back

A friend betrays
Stabs me behind my back
Using her shadows
She held my neck with her arms
Sealed the friendship with her last hug
And left my bleeding heart in cold blood
Then she went away
Following the road to her dreams
I have no regrets
Repairing what I have
What is left of me
She too will die soon
In her guilt and emptiness
Her heart dead
Her own soul gone away.
