Who am i?
Do I just kid myself?
I lie here and wonder
exactly how I felt
when my best friend ditched me
and caused me so much pain.
I hated her so much
because she wasn't the same.

She used to be someone I could laugh with
even the one to whom I could cry.
Now as I sit here alone,
I wonder why.

Why did she leave me?
Was she ever a good friend?
I remember all those friendship poems
for her that I used to send.

Now she's with her popular group,
but I know they're all fake
I just hope she realizes that,
at least for her sake.

I miss all the laughters
and even the songs we used to make
I wish I could turn back time
to the part when it was all great...

Hi Cougar,

I don't have any real comments for you but I did want to welcome you to CA. I know you'll enjoy it here.

Welcome to CA!

My first suggestion is to give us more of the story -- perhaps a specific scene in the relationship that you treasure. Right now, you are telling us about the relationship, not showing us that relationship. Maybe use two scenes to create a contrast between the before case -- friendship -- and the after case -- the sense of loss.

Also, think about dropping the rhyme. I don't think it's needed with this poem.

Just an opinion,
Brad
