Where Loyalties Lie

He was caught between the two people he adored,

faced by a situation where he required to pick a side

and his mind clouded with thoughts so rapidly, 

it felt as though he was running for miles.

To side the person he's known for years

or to stand by the person he's recently found a new friendship in,

he had to question his faith in their friendship

and the future of it too

And for a moment, just a fleeting moment,

he wondered where his loyalties lie

with who, and why

and if he were willing to let a relationship die

and then another thought crossed his mind

wondering if their motives were more than what they seemed
and what shocked him was the conclusion that them innocent, is what he deemed.
Suddenly, the question wasn't about where his loyalties lie.
In all truth,
The question was about why they lie.
