Up in the mountains in the NFC

I guess I don’t know you anymore
You’re not the same person I knew before
I thought I knew everything about you
Come to find out most of it’s untrue
Hate to call you two faced
But my trust was misplaced
And the effort I’ve spent has gone to waste
In the beginning things went great
I fell in love with you on our first date
Soul mates, that’s us, or so I felt
The perfect hand I was dealt
Relationship failed and that was fine
I’m not in your heart but you’ll be in mine
You were confused but I know how I feel
My heart’s been abused, that’s how I know it’s real
You meant too much, I wasn’t willing to lose it
Friendship is fine if I cannot choose it
Things went great, for awhile
When I’m with you can’t do nothing but smile
You found a new guy, a new relationship
That’s when I noticed ours began to slip
You didn’t call much
And I saw you even less
The more you disappear
The more that I stress
I blamed him, never you
He wasn’t the problem, it was us two
I lost control, let my heart grow cold
The more lies I was fed, the more it grew cold
Just quit caring, just quit calling
Dropped the emotional baggage I’d been hauling
If you ain’t gonna try, neither am I
Done feeling pain, ain’t worth it to cry
The say friends come and go
I guess I finally know
When we both don’t try
We’ll be left with nothing to show

Ah Jon, I feel for you man. I'm sorry to hear that a friendship you thought quite highly of disintergrated in your hands. At least you can be left with a memory that you were great friends with this person once upon a time. It mightn't be much but at least it's something.

Good luck with everything and thanks for the read.

Hey there buddy!!! How ya doing?? Great poem...I know where you are coming from. I just lost the person I thought would be there for me forever. My boyfriend and I broke up about 3 weeks ago. I spent 2 years with someone who i trusted with anything and evrything. 2 years to grow close and then a conversation to get rid of everything we ever had.

Your poem sums everything up so clearly for me. And Im sorry you are feeling like this. But keep your head up buddy!!!

Jon if you ever want to talk you should have my email address. Theres so much I have to say but i will email you.

I liked this alot.  Although it was sad, you were right in the point you seemed to be getting across.  All relationships (whether it be friendship or more) require effort from both people.  You just can't do it alone, despite the number of times I know I've tried to. Anyways, you wrote this well.  Good luck.
