Goodbye friend
this is the end
when I give up on you

I've tried so hard to keep you as a friend
but you've left me in the end
alone without my friend

Tears roll down my face
as I regret to say goodbye to you
but I've given up on this friendship

No matter what I did
or how I told you what I felt
you've yet to shown me that it even matters to you
so today is the day
that I turn my back

I strain as I fight back the tears
saying goodbye to you
was one of my fears

I thought you were my friend forever
but nothing good for me ever works out

My life seems so worthless without you dear friend
but I'm putting you in the back of my mind
a forgotten pain

I've tried as much as I could
tried too many times
but I've realized this friendship is nothing anymore

Forgetting you will be difficult
a friend I found so dear
a sister
a angel that has flown away from me
walked out of my life
without looking back

I will move on
I will find another friend who makes me happy
the same happiness you gave me

So today old friend
I say goodbye to you
hoping to forget you
and how much you hurt me

Your memory will remain in my mind
although unwanted
but I'll never forget you
nor the way we use to be

These tears I cry
are for the memories
of the happiness we use to share

Goodbye
you will be missed
but will be replaced
like you replaced me


This poem is written for a friend who's left me and replaced me, forgetting me and our friendship. This is my way of saying goodbye to her.

This is really good writing.  I'm sorry that you lost such a good friend, a person is lucky to have only a couple of real friends, but at least you are able to move on and not dwell on the past.  You have your memories, and you will never forget those, and your friend cannot take them with her.  Good luck.  Rachel

Very Very Touching. You took the words right out of my mouth. I know exactly how you feel. Keep It Up.

I'm glad you could relate to this poem Jimmy, but feeling this way isn't always the best thing to experience. So I hope you get over it as I'm getting over it. Thanks for replying! Poe

I'm sorry your friendship didn't work out, Poe. I hope you find the strength to work through your pain. I know how hard it is to lose a dear friend. I hope you feel better with time and find another friend, this time forever.

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

I'm glad I'm no the only one with "friends" like that.  I know sometimes it can be difficult to get over things like this and I'm glad that you have the confidence to move on.  Stay strong and if you ever need a friend over the computer, I'm here for ya!
