My Best Friend

March 2, 2010
By Anonymous

Tears are heavy upon my face
I wipe them away but more fill their place
You cannot feel the pain inside
But you can see it cus it dose not hide
My Cries Our Wasted On Someone That Doesn’t Care
They Walked Away and It Wasn’t Fare
They Didn’t Wait To Ask Me Why
They Just Turned Around and Watched Me Cry

I cried and pleaded, begged them not to go
But they turned their back on me and left me there alone
Now tears of sorrow fall down my face
Cus I know no one can fill her place
My best friend that wasn’t my friend at all
Cus if she was, would she have let me fall?

So now here I am
Almost a year has gone by
And I look back and wonder why
Why didn’t I see it before?
That I loved her so much more
Even now, if she called I would reply
If she needed my help, I would not deny
Even after the tears I have shed
She will always be my best friend.


The author's comments:
This poem is based on my best friend and me. She was thinking about doing drugs, and I was scared for her, because I knew what could happen to her if she did. So I ended up telling her parents, and she hated me for it, some of the things she said to me, the things she did were vary hurtful, and for a long time I thought I deserved it. I told her I was sorry, but she didn't care. She would play on my emotions too, I mean I would get my hopes up, thinking she was starting to forgive me, but then when I would call her and she wouldn’t talk to me, I would talk to her sister and her sister would tell me what she said but she wouldn’t talk directly to me. But what hurt the most is when right after she decided she didn’t want to be my friend any more, she became best friends with a girl she really use to hate, and she would rub it in my face. And her new best friend didn’t like me ether, and I knew the girl for a while and I never liked her but I was always nice, but she really treated me like crap. I mean when she would walk by me she would call me names under her breath, not loud enough for others to hear just me. For so long I blamed myself, I was angry at myself. But I started talking to a counselor and it took a while but eventually I began to see that she had no right treating me the way she did. Ya I might have hurt my her feelings by betraying her trust, but she knew how I felt about the whole drug thing, and I was trying to help her cus I loved her and I didn’t want to see anything bad happen to her. And even after what happened, I will always love her, even though she might not feel the same.

Always found in ink wells and paper hearts..

I think you are a very loving and compassionate friend for doing what you did, and that same love and compassion is very beautifully obvious in this poem. It's lovely and heartbreaking at the same time and I think it really captures the emotions very well. I know saying "I can relate" is really overused but I know the feeling. Things didn't work out the best for me either, but I adore the fact that you're always there for your friends despite what happens. That dedication and strength is also promenent in your work and it really puts out a statement like "I'm here for you no matter what" and that is part of being a really heartfelt friend, and it really isn't common anymore. That said, I love your poem even though the inspiration is a sad thing. Please keep writing and please keep being such an amazing friend. I would really love it if you wouldn't mind to comment on my work too. The first one is up and the second is being processed. The first is written in an odd format that I don't use often but if you can find the meaning behind it please I would love to know what you think. Thank you so much. I really enjoyed this peice. Great work
