Betrayed my friend

I didn't want to tell you scared of my friend being hurt I didn't want to see you cry too but still, it was all for naught living in comfort with your presence putting a mask to hide the lies absorbing this friendships essence but this would never last, like a Gordian knot tie The truth's rotting stench reached you and just as I expected, it broke you but the worst of it all, you turned to me instead of hatred, it was hurt, the broken trust in your eyes that engulfed me sucking me in that abyss of guilt.
