Dear bestfriend,

Today we had our first fight.

It was small, but now thankfully

Everything is back to normal.

Love, your best friend


Dear ex-best friend,

I’m here,

Waiting.

Waiting for the day

You realize

What you've lost.

I’m here.

Are you?

With hope, your ex-best friend


Dear ex-best friend

I spend most of my nights

Crying,

Overthinking,

Wishing things didn’t end on such a bad note,

But then again the past is untouchable

Just like the future isn’t imaginable

Without, you.

Broken , your ex-best friend


Dear ex-best friend

I’ve been waiting

For what feels like an

Eternity

For you to be ready

To let me back in.

I’m still here.

I’m still waiting.

Am I  waiting for nothing?

Doubtfully, a stranger


The author's comments:

My name is Sage Guilmette and I am a freshman at Exeter High School. This poem is something that happened to me a couple years ago and I took the pain from the situation and turned it into this poem to show how it feels to lose someone that is close to you. I wrote this poem in my honors english class and I used it as a spoken word poem.
