Without you
Without people who make me smile
I Would have drowned in my own tears
People say friends are forever
But, it doesn’t seem to look that way
Without someone, I can turn to night or day
I just can’t seem to get away
Without the feeling that I messed up
I blame the entire problem on you
Many see that you aren’t the bad guy but in fact the hero
And I was just some sidekick you lied to
You lied to me so much that I never thought anything was true
But, a glance at what it would be like to hold on to something that didn’t exist
Without the feeling of being happy all the time gone my world seemed so gray
That when I spoke my mind the words “I’m sorry” never had a meaning
Yes our friendship was sugar coated
In fact, if someone tried to figure out why we were friends they would get a mouthful of cavities before they found why we even were friends
And when I think about you know as a person I realize that I am much better on
Without you, I may never have cried a river of a thousand tears
Without you, I might have never felt like I messed up
As soon as I caught on to your game, nothing was the same
You never thought to include me or try to be my friend
Yet still today you call me your best friend but you can’t even tell me what has gone on in my life in the past three days
Without you, I would have been so much happier
Without the drama
Without Lying
We could have been much better friends
But, you never told me the truth
Some might say the truth hurts
But, you were never honest so I can’t vouch for that statement

I wrote this poem when I was going through a breakup with one of my close friends. It was a sad time but after writing this poem I felt a lot better about the whole situation.
