Friend or foe 

Lies lies lies ! What do you do when you think someone who you thought was a friend ends up being a foe. Someone who stole your heart ends up being the one who crushes it. 

Story begins with a kind gesture of fruit. You have a stomach ache and in so much pain. A friend offers you medicine and a banana. Then continuously checks up on you to make sure you’re okay. Hours of speaking becomes days and days turn into weeks but wait they have disappeared now. Disappeared as if they never existed, as if it was a dream that came to a close. “Boom” “boom” months later you find they have been hurt. “Have they been shot?”you wonder. Worry causes countless sleepless nights. Your give in and you dial their number. “Ring” “ring” what will you say months later. Do they still love you? Yes of course, you start making excuses. Hi they say, you answer. They’re surprised, you ask how they are and why they stopped communicating. You were busy they said. Now your confused, this was your fault you wonder. After speaking for a while you then hang up. Conversations begin again, this time their constant, a good morning, a good afternoon and even a good night every day hours each time. So much to talk about, so many promises made including a BMW. It’s as if they were afraid of me leaving. They want nothing in return for their promises just loyalty , honesty and unconditional love. 

You’re now in love, you commit your everything to this person. You start planning for their future. They have nothing but your doing well. Hey that’s not equal so what do you do, you start helping them achieve their dreams, you want them to become something as that was what their desire was. Or as you knew it to be. “ no no I don’t want to do that I never did” they tell you. But they said they did. They loved you but were never available. It’s coming to 2am and no sign of them. You’re yawning away but determined to wait for even a phone call or something to explain where they had gone for days and months again. This carried on. Each promise they had made, all those fantasies soon become non existent. You were used for their purpose, when they needed something from you they would become your friend. You realise very early on you were being betrayed. You sob all night, you were never loved but you have realised too late, You’re not that same person anymore. That once friend was actually a foe all along.

You gave your everything to this one person but in return you are left confused. You wanted honesty but you got continuous lies. You was told honestly is key in relationship but that rule only applied to you not them.

Just like that story, In life we meet many different people at school,college, work, family,  friends but how can we trust. Trust is a belief that whatever happens this person will have your back. You place your confidence in this person or people. They are reliable. You will believe them over anyone else as you don’t believe they will ever think wrong of you. Those people will be your friend but what about those who break your trust. 

Who is a friend and who is a foe?
