At first, we were strangers
Starting out by little, meaningless exchanges
Afterwards,
There were a lot of words.
We were not strangers anymore
When you told me about your passion more & more
About demons in your mind
One by one making you blind
Constantly afraid to look behind.
I told you about my nightmares
About the fear of going upstairs
Higher & higher up my own built wall
Terrified to jump and fall
But suddenly all of it was gone.
Causing and feeling pain
Me, marked with bloodstains
And you cynically drinking champagne
Understanding that for you everything was just a game.
And then, I knew
Better not knowing a stranger,
Than knowing "you".

For those who have experienced toxic friendships/relationships.
You deserve more and do not put up with people who don't invest as much effort into the relationship as you do.
You deserve to take as much as you give.
