An old song
reminds me of how you use to be
the way you use to act

Your not the same anymore
it's like your a whole new person now
not wanting to share your new life with me

I seem to be your past
something that only remains in your memory
but that memory of me is fading

You've said things to me that make me think
you said I was the most important person to you
but I just can't believe those words
because I don't feel important to you

When we fight
it doesn't effect you that much
but when you fight with your new friends
you begin to cry

Why is it that my best friend has to change
why is it that the one friend who is really important to me has to change

The one who was suppose to be my brides maid
the one who was suppose to be my sister
and the aunt to my children
has to seperate from me
not physically
but emotionally

This friendship is fading
as the years go on
this friendhip isn't the same anymore
and I don't think it ever will be.

This is a powerful piece of poetry you have here and i must say it is very well done. I cant say i know how you are feeling because I am not you. I am I. All I am able to say is i have gone through something very much the same as you discribed. Dont quit and I can promise you that things will turn out right in the end.

I used to feel the same way about my sister...
but it all got better when she moved out.  Time away from her will allow you to grow closer to her, I guarantee it.
But for now, try to compensate by spending some time away from her, just give her some room and she may begin to miss you, and then the person that you once knew could resurface.
Great poem.

Poe, I know what you are going through. It really does suck when a person you get along with so much fades away from you. Like Allan said, maybe time away will do you some good. This person may come back to you with an apology and the thing that will make you a greater friend will be to forgive her.

Good luck and I hope things look up for you.

wonderful job on this one!
I liked it!


I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Thanks guys for your replies, I did think of spending time away from her but it will be difficult because we have the same friends. I've done this before with her and it did work but she didn't do anything for months. So we'll see where it goes this time. Thanks again for your replies guys.  smiles

Strongly and powerfully written
I guess situations like this do tend to bring out a lot of emotions from within us
I was wondering if she really is a sister, or is she like a sister to you
well, no matter what, if she's blood, she'll always be blood, and if she's a real friend, then she'll always be a real friend
sometimes, in life, we do have trying times
so, stay strong

I'm not gona say I really understand, because I always hate it when people say they understand wheni know they can't.  But I can say that this poem speaks to me.  And reminds me of loseing one of my best friends.  I still miss her.
I will pray for you.
