this poem is just a way to writing what i'm feeling about the friendship i just lost but realized we were only kidding ourselves cuz she didn't know me at all.

Best Friend

You hear that saying
Best friends hear what you don't say
Well where were you
When I was screaming
Yet my mouth was closed.
You weren't there
Which makes me wonder, ya know?
Were you ever really there
When I was talking
Did you really hear me
Really listen and understand
I don't think so

For if you were
You would really know
Exactly what I'm saying
You would know me
You would know my life
You would know how it is
It's just about others
Mostly my friends
Mostly you.
~R*

If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead and rotten, write something worth reading or do something worth writing.

I understand your hurt, but even best friends need to communicate....they aren't mind readers, even when we think they should just know, they can't if we don't tell them...powerful first post! Well done * please check your email for a special greeting!

Wonderful poem! I enjoyed it. A good first pippost. Welcome new friend! I know what you're going through, something happend with a dear friend of mine for over three years that's similar. It hurts, but time will heal wounds, trust me. Not completely, but enough to move on to new friends, new people. Good luck, and hope to see more of you here and on teenchat.

Sincerely,
Titus

Wonderful writing my dear! I can't say that I know where you're coming from, but you described your hurt very well. Welcome to Passions!

We all go through that stage in life but one day you will find someone that is meant for you to trust and be good friends with...

Have you ever heard the say, "falling in love is when you give someone a piece of your heart, and falling out of love is when the piece no longer fits"

Well its just like friendship...


If you want something very badly, set it free. If it comes back to you, its yours forever, if it doesnt, it was never yours to begin with"

WELCOME TO PASSIONS!!

This is indeed a very well-expressed poem. Sad, of course, but I hope you will soon work out the differences you have with your friend. Talk it out! You never know how much can be worked out when 2 friends talk over a cup of coffee. Trust me

Sometimes people are so caught up in there own problems, they don't see how much we are hurting.  Best friends are human beings too, and they have faults.  Talk to your friend, tell her you care, because fights just make you stronger, and a strong relationship really helps at the ages we are now.  Next time you are screaming with your mouth closed, gice some kind of hand signal, because if she knows your in trouble, she'll try to help!

Welcome to Passions!!!   Ya I know I'm a little late.   Good first post, I can really feel where you are coming from.  You expressed your emotions quite well.  Also I loved the quote from Ben Franklin.

i know exactly how you feel, my "best friend" is doing the same thing to me. she's got to much goin on in her life to be a friend to me, but im always there for her. i know it hurts and i know it makes you mad but sometimes you just gotta let it go, i'm lost without her but i know one day she'll wake up and realize what's she doin to her best friend and she'll feel bad, you just gotta wait till she comes around.

Welcome to Passions.  This was a wonderful first post.  Like the others, I can relate to this.  Me and my best friend of over 2 years are, lets put it this way, not best friends anymore.  But you shouldnt give up on your friend, b/c sometimes 2 people want the exact same thing w/out stopping to realize it.  Maybe she wants you to hear her too.  But either way, I hope that everything works out for you.  You really shouldnt throw away something as precious as a friend.
