My Muse must be working over time today!! This is inspired after I finally let my best friend know I how felt (lol in an email) couldn't call her, she's always out with some other friends, on the way to a club, without me..

Pack rat
Holding onto the faint fumes
Of memories
Long gone, long past
Believe me
My heart hangs in disappoint
That this friendship didn't last
Each time I would call
You were out on the town
Always making promises
That we would finally
See each other again
Each time I tried to express
The feelings of being left behind
You just sat there and denied my tears
So why exactly
Were we holding on?
Both pack rats
As I stated before
Unwilling to let go
And go through that open door
To our separate ways
I truly believe
It's for the best
You weren't really there for me
Because after he broke up with you
You began to lose touch with your heart's reality
Your words of friendship
No longer hold their value
Or even hold my attention anymore
I don't regret
Sharing each others thoughts and dreams
But now I'm ready to walk through that door
I wish you the best in life
And pray for you each night
That you will someday, understand who you really are...

I have friends like that..Its funny how we thought we would be best friends forever, and we turn out only smiling at eachother in the halls.  She took a turn for popularity, and I stayed the same (or at least I think I did!) Great poem!!! and Great Subject!!

Sorry to hear about you and your friend. Obviously by doing this she's masking how upset she is over her boyfriend. People do strange things when they're hurting. Don't forget that.

I liked the idea of a pack rat. Quite creative of you. It sums up the situation fairly well with a decent amount of originality.

Thanks for sharing. I hope things have improved by now for you.
