Bad friend



By Believe Livingstone DAGBEY

A snake in grass, you slithered in,
Disguising deceit with a friendly grin,
Poisoning trust with venomous lies,
Leaving scars that never demise.

Like autumn leaves, our bond withered away,
Fading memories of brighter days,
Your betrayal stung like a hornet's bite,
Painful memories, an endless fight.

You wore a mask of camaraderie,
Concealing envy's dark symmetry,
A wolf in sheep's clothing, you deceived,
Shattering bonds, our friendship bereaved.

Like shattered glass, our trust was broken,
Reflecting shards of hearts unspoken,
Your absence echoes, a hollow sound,
A silence that speaks volumes unbound.

Moral Lessons:

1. Toxic relationships: Bad friendships harm.

2. Deception: Hidden agendas destroy trust.

3. Loyalty: True friends stand by, through thick and thin.

Simile:

- "A snake in grass"
- "Like autumn leaves"
- "Like shattered glass"

These similes compare bad friendships to hidden dangers, fading beauty, and broken trust.

Metaphor:

- "You wore a mask of camaraderie"

This metaphor equates false friendship to a disguise.

Alliteration:

- "Slithered in"
- "Shattered sound"
- "Silence speaks"

Alliteration adds rhythm.

Onomatopoeia:

- "Stung" (hornet's bite)
- "Echoes" (emptiness)

Onomatopoeia imitates sounds.
