(NOTE: This is the revised version of a poem I wrote earlier.)


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 angry and blue.

We were best friends for just one year,
And never did you make me feel pain;
Until 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 how could you tell people that I was untrustworthy,
When clearly you knew there was no proof?

After awhile of telling your lies,
You decided to cut the crap.
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!”
Yet ultimately you still wanted to leave.

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 resolve everything.
But for now it is the end.

Have you posted this b4? Just wonderin, i could swear i've read this b4. I like this a lot. I have gone through this b4 and am going through it right now with one of my friends, because we both lied 2 each other, and i was the only one.. WOMAN enough 2 admitt it. I calle dher and told her that i had lied about where i was when i was talking to her, and that i kew she had been lying to me the whole time, and we havent talked since, and in the halls we pretend that we dont see eachother. I really dont care though. I mean i do... but i am just not gonna let it get 2 me. Like i said before... AMAZIN write.

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

Amazing... I don't know how to describe what I think, because I think it's amazing.. I only post comments to poems which I think is special! Maybe, because I've experienced the same things or because I feel at the same way, I don't know, but Alli, don't stop doing this! Keep up the good work. I enjoy your way of writing, and enjoy your amazing poems. It's fantastic...

-sometimes when I read poems (here), I get scared. It's incredible that different people like us in here can have the same experiences. It's weird...

My "friend" did all this stuff to me about a year ago.  I'm ok now, but when I think back, it still hurts.
Thanks for reading Lisa!

Wow, I thought I was the only one that had this kind of a problem! lol I went through this last fall with someone I considered my best friend.  I got angry cause she always copied me and then would say it was her own style and she got really angry and rude when I confronted her on it. We did the same thing, walk down the hall trying not to notice. You did an awesome job putting it into words!

Love is giving him the ability to break your heart...but trusting him enough to know he won't.

Alli4000-

Your overall concept was expressed very well in this poem. However, sometimes I felt some of the rhyming was a bit elementary and could've used more elaborate wording, especially in a piece with this much thought and feeling.

i.e.
"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."

Also, the meter seemed to be jaggy a few times, due to the word choices and/or the sentence structure. I'm sure that if you reworded some of the lines, it would flow better and the overall meaning will have a greater effect on the reader.

I look forward to reading your next post. And don't worry about people not replying...that's something you shouldn't even have to ask for.

Trapper789, thank you soo much for giving me your input on my poem.  Funny, I actually thought that I was the only one with this problem.

Chasing Rain, that's your opinion and I respect that.  Actually, I kinda feel the same way, lol! This was the first poem I ever wrote, and I know that I could've done a better job. I think I'll take your suggestion, and rewrite some of the lines and then post it again.

Again, thanks everyone for taking the time to read my poem!

Alli,
You expressed your feelings very well. I've got no skills to critique. But I know life and often it hurts. Your willingness to be open to change and forgiveness impresses me. I think you'd make an awesome friend!

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

I can totally relate to this poem. Its actually the story of my life. It feels like everytime I find a best friend they end up stabbing me in the back. Keep up the good work.

Alright, let me start by saying this is a good poem and I like the concept. But as for the way it's written; I don't mean to sound mean but it just seems a bit...childish. The words used and the text doesn't seem to fit a teenager. It feels like it's coming from someone in 6th or 7th grade. Many will probably disagree with me, but I just wanted to let you know my opinion. I'm not really into rhyme and simple words in poems these days...so maybe that's what throws me off. But overall, your poem is good and going into my library.

BabieDoll - Actually...this was the first poem I ever wrote, and actually...lol...i was in 7th grade
So your guess was right!

And as I said before to another reply, this was the first poem I wrote in my entire life and I was just experimenting, you know seeing if I could actually write anything

Once again thanks you your reply.  Athough I love people telling me how much they enjoyed my poem, etc. I do like to know what I did wrong, and what I can approve on.
