UNTITLED

We still call each other friends,
But we know it’s just not true.
Outside I act like it’s alright,
But inside I’m cold and blue.

We were best friends for just one year,
And thought there were years ahead to gain.
Our friendship ended so unexpectedly,
When you acted so cold and vain.

I don’t know why you did it.
Talking about me behind my back.
Spreading such lies around;
And saying that I didn’t act like a friend should act.

You said I was paying no attention to you,
Well that is just not the truth.
And telling people that I was untrustworthy,
Only made me think of you as more aloof.

After awhile of telling your lies,
You decided to cut the cr@p.
And came hurrying up to me saying,
“I want our friendship back!”

I had a feeling you weren’t being sincere.
But me being so naïve,
Said “Hey, what the heck!”
But when it came to our friendship, we still felt displeased.

Now when we pass each other in the halls,
We pretend we just don’t see;
Each other walking the other way.
But, hey, it doesn’t bother me.

Ok, so maybe it does a little bit,
When I think of the friendship we had.
But then I remember all the things you did,
And how much they made me mad.

I remember all the times of laughter;
But can’t forget the fear,
When I first found out how cruel you are;
And how you were so insincere.

One day when you become more mature,
And learn how to be a better friend;
Maybe we can bond again.
But for now it is the end.


(AUTHOR'S NOTE: I hope that you all enjoyed my poem. I am 13 and it is the first poem I have ever written.I can't think of a good title, so I would greatly appreciate your help.Also, I would love to hear everyone's comments. THANKS!)

This is great, especially for your first write! How is it that you've never written a poem before? I'm a year older than you, technically more like a month, and have already written tons. You didn't even in school? Oh, and I'm new here, too. So welcome!

Anyway, back to the poem. It really brought back memories of an old friendship of mine, one where our interests changed and we parted, and she's now pretty snobby, so I guess it was for the best. A good title could be "A Lost Friend" or "Betrayal." Something like that. Anyway, it's really good!

yea, i like this. You rhyming was a little forced, but that is ok. Mine waas WAY forced when i first started writing. I am 14 by the way.

I can really relate to this. Me and my a friend of mine are sorta in a fight right now, because of some of her chioces. She is just REALLY selfish, and  is trying to break a couple of my friends up, and also telling one of my guy friends a bunch of stuff that my other friend told her in confidence about her liking him, because my friend likes him too. Whatever, the drama the drama, IT NEVER ENDS!!! lol I dont even think what i said makes any sense!! lol

I want a relationship i can finally sink my teeth into.~ Alexander Sterling

Thanks for your critiques.  Amanda, to answer your question yea I have written poems in school before but this is my first "personal" poem.  The ones I have written in school were to watch a movie and then tell the whole story behind it in poetry form.  I know that doesn't sound bad but the movies I had to watch were really boring and dull.

I know that my rhyming was forced but I really couldn't think of anything that rhymed with "truth" or "naïve".  Yes, I know that's a really BAD excuse!

Anyways... I just wanted to thank everyone for taking the time to read my poem and tell me what they think.  Also, thanks welcoming me to the "neighborhood".

Yea... I'm gonna let everyone go now, seeing that I just wrote a really long reply to my own poem!  Thanks again everyone!

We were meant to live for so much more have we lost ourselves?
Maybe redemption has stories to tell maybe forgiveness is right where you fell.
