No Longer There When You Cry

by Lu   May 19, 2006


This poem was written for a broken friendship contest .....
*******************************

sleep overs and silly chats
experiments on each others hair
then a boy comes along
our friendship thrown in the air

like torn pieces of paper
that the winds sweeps away
our friendship bonded no longer
two hearts gone astray

the friendship necklace you gave me
now the gold stings my neck
since you replaced me with him
our friendships a wreck

how could he mean more to you
I am always the one to be there
when you cry broken hearted
that he just doesn't care

then you discard me unneeded
with the wink of his eye
uncaring to my feelings
where are you when I cry

our friendship a past memory
many attempts to fix it , I did try
finally moving on with my life
no longer there when you cry

This poem is based on a friendship that was broken many, many years ago .
A person I once called " my best friend " . I hope she has since found the meaning to true friendship .

    Wow, very emotional! good job! i think you could improve it a bit by adding a bit more about your friendship and what you used to do, before you start talking about how it was ruined! great poem though!

    This really hit home for me Luanne..HARD...especially the stanza above ^^...I'm so scared to lose my best friend over a guy..everytime she gets a boyfriend I feel like she gets so wrapped up in him and its non-stop about the guy and never once does she ask how things are going with me...like last year when my parents were going through a rough time I was miserable and she had a man and I cried all the time and I felt like I had no one..to me..since I haven't been in love yet...Loseing a friendship is one of the worst things to feel! I'm just scared I'll be writing the same things when I get older but trying so hard to hang on to our friendship

    I'm sorry a friend left you over a man momma! I bet she regrets it now that she doesn't have you to turn to!
    Wonderful Write
