    Frienship Lost

    We were alway's together never apart,
    but now it feels we are a life time apart.

    We were friend's since we were very young,
    always played together we were as one.

    Darkness fell over us, we grew apart,
    but you will always be there in my heart.

    You were my best friend, always there for me,
    guess our friendship wasn't meant to be.

    It still puts a downer on my day and causes pain,
    Knowing I can't get my bestfriend back again.

    But even though we are miles apart,
    always know you have a place in my heart.

    ~Red Water~

    Not, 15 years out of the womb,
    a boy's best friend lay in his tomb.
    With nothing to be done or said,
    what once was blue turned a violent red.
    A vacant expression on his face,
    led one boy to believe this would be his friends final resting place.
    The one true gift in life is time,
    that boy's best friend was also mine.

    ~Sean Dohr~

    -This poem is about a cousin of mine (14 years old), who I was in a boating accident with. It was late at night, and it was me, him, and my uncle (his father). We hit a sand barge and my cousin was thrown from the boat. He hit his head on a rock and bled to death before we got him to shore :. (

    "TaKe tHe HiNt"
    I blocked your number from calling my phone
    I just want to have time to think, time to just be alone

    Couldn't you take the hint on why I blocked it out ?
    You want us to be friends again but I am still having my doubts

    That I could ever trust you again
    After all you did commit the ultimate sin

    Saying your sorry will not change the fact
    You can not change what you have done you can not take it back

    Sometimes I feel that you never cared about me as your friend
    Now we both are left alone and empty in the end

    It's time to say good-bye to the friendship that we had
    I know this is a stupid question to ask but are you even sad?

    *why is it that the people that you hold closest and dearest to your heart ,always hurt you first??*

    *** this happened about a year ago i was "friends" with this girls who just made me feel so worthless and pathetic and well yeah its well and truly a broken friendship now***

    Hey I know it's impossible,
    but I tried for perfection
    cause I wanted acceptance
    and you gave rejection.

    I didn't hate you - I wanted to love you
    and when each day did dawn - grass soaked with dew
    once again I'd fake that smile
    just so i could be, good enough for you.

    Some call it pathetic,
    Some say it's lame,
    but day after day
    i'll continue on in this childish game

    I'll beg for you love,
    and with the most forced of smiles - ill try all day long.
    Till alone in my room, ill turn up the radio and cry until dawn
    then one day ill realise I'll realize I got it all wrong.

    I needn't have endured the put-downs and the pain
    I didn't need to feel so worthless or meek
    I didn't need to play your stupid little game
    and let you walk all over me.

    Cause I can never be all that you wanted of me!
    I can't change the way I am - I can't be perfect!
    The truth is your no better than me!
    and a true friend would love me, JUST AS I AM

    EGO- THE BREAKING FACTOR...

    So proud I used to feel,
    to have such a friend like you.
    But you also left my hand in between,
    which shows you are like others too.

    Sharing the pains and sorrows,
    and lending the shoulder to cry upon.
    Now I cannot even see the hand that can,
    wipe my tears and saying me “Come on”.

    The moments we shared cannot be forgotten,
    neither by you nor by me.
    Then why are these distances made,
    Aparting one soul into two, I can see.

    We used to hold each other’s hand,
    Standing so bolder in front of all.
    No one could dare to make us apart,
    And no one could create a wall.

    I wonder what happened to the two pals,
    That was known to all as inseparable.
    I thought a lot wondering the reason,
    its our ego which made our friendship breakable.

    I am waiting for your apology,
    And you are waiting for mine.
    We are eager to talk to each other,
    But we are taking so much time.

    A crack between the two hearts,
    Now never can be mended, I suppose.
    But from bottom of my heart even today,
    I wish if we could again come close.

    ***i feel that one of the reasons behind breaking of friendships is ego. isnt it?***

    Beneath Guiding Lights

    Blanket of twinkling guiding lights
    envelope me from the coldness.
    Restore my faith in the damaged shores
    that drowned my aching soul.

    Revive the damaged heart that could
    not beat without the touch of hope.
    Pour these tears into the clouds above
    then let them shatter to the floor.

    Kiss the wounds from my body that
    had been engraved there by another.
    Suffering innocence being violated
    Bacteria poison from his words.

    Brush the shadows haunting my mind
    then sweep the ashes of the twinge.
    The tender heartstrings which continue
    to throb though nothing pulls them.

    Restore the image from my mirror
    that might have remained smudged.
    Silver vials glimmering in the closet
    holding droplets of stained memories.

    Discharge these chains of regret from
    my world that continue to bind my spirit.
    Pour these tears into the clouds above
    then let them shatter to the floor.

    While I continue to cry
    beneath your guiding light

    I won't make a big scene, I'll just walk on by,
    I can't help how I feel, all I can do is cry.
    I'm feeling so sad, I'm missing you,
    It hurts me too much, you know it's true.

    I need you, I can't turn and walk away,
    I wonder what went wrong, sorry is all I can say.
    I'm a little bit lost without you here,
    I'm a little too soft and too sincere.

    I don't want you to look and see my pain,
    All I want is for you to be here with me again.
    You were the friend I always prayed for,
    The friend I truly and deeply adore.

    So maybe all I should do is move on,
    Accept that our friendship has gone.
    I won't make a big scene, I'll just walk on by,
    I can't help how I feel, all I can do is try.

    Broken Friendship...
    by Latasha

    Tears fill my eyes,
    I can't believe how I loved you so much,
    I thought best friends meant something,
    But soon I realized it meant nothing,
    Its just something we call,
    A person we are close with,
    In time that all changes,
    And no one cares,
    That you cried yourself to sleep,
    Your now just a memory in there mind,
    No one to special,
    Just a girl they once knew,
    Maybe I had a different view of friendship,
    For when I called you my best friend,
    I truly did mean it,
    I made mistakes,
    That may have showed you other wise,
    But I can't pretend you meant nothing to me,
    You were more then just a friend,
    But rather my sister,
    Maybe not through blood,
    But through my heart,
    I think about you all the time,
    As I look back on photographs,
    I see all the good times we once shared,
    But I can't see the bad,
    No one takes pictures of the tears,
    Just the smiles,
    So I can't remember all the bad times,
    But rather the good,
    I wish you knew I loved you,
    And I hope one day we can be best friends again,
    I'm sorry for hurting you,
    But you caused me tears too,
    I'm ready to ignore all the pain you caused,
    If you would just be there for me,
    And I'd be there for you...

    everytime...

    Everytime i go through that corridor
    i still remember our steps, that have left after the rain
    everytime i stand besides the road,everytime i sit on that chair
    i remember what we have done

    even though only words are shared
    laugh and tears that have been shed
    many times and too many memories we have curved on our time

    everytime i open that book
    i remember everything
    you,him,them,have filled my days in this place
    accompony,protect,play,teach,share love and stufffs,
    cry,laugh,and life
    everything landed on my mind

    don't be afraid that you will be forgoten
    don't be scared that my memory of you will be broken
    i promise that it won't happen

    even though our footsteps have been cleared
    even though the road is no more
    even though our chair have been moved
    even though that book have been roten

    my feeling towards you won't change
    although the time has lapsed
    through the wind,through the rain
    i will always be,the way we were... the way we used to be

    thanx friend,you have brought me fly to your world
    to see any gorgeous moment
    to know this world,meaning of life..
    to feel the love,and spend abit happines with you
    i love you.. till we meet later...
    in heaven...

    Broken heart

    I can't believe you left me behind
    I can't believe you said goodbye
    I can't believe I gave you my heart
    I can't believe you tore us apart
    I can't believe I ever loved you
    I can't believe I never knew

    I can't believe that you were with another girl and you said I was your world
    I can't believe so many things
    But I can believe what makes me...me

    :.: You Left :.:

    You left because thet times got hard
    You left and now I'm alone
    Not so many people miss you
    But my heart has turned to stone

    So many times I raged on you
    Because of stuff you did
    But you were always my friend
    You knew it was just a kid

    I was there through all the guys
    And my shoulder was wet when you cried
    The only problem was at the end
    Right when you lied

    I CAN'T STAND LIARS, you knew that
    Yet you did it all the same
    You broke our friendship, you ruined my life
    Now I know your game

    Because of you I lost my boyfriend
    Because of you I lost my normaily
    So if you ever come back here
    I beat you into reality

    By Eternity

    ...Too good To Be True...

    I thought wed be forever friends
    Wouldnt end with any twist in fate
    Wed have our path in destiny straight
    And wed keep it going no ends

    Around for each other wed always be
    Id be there for you, and you for me
    Every struggle, together wed see
    Love for each other, living it free

    Friends wed be from beginning till end
    Towards each other our hands would extend
    Any problems, together wed mend
    Thoughts and choices would always blend
    All the time, as one wed spend
    Together wed live through every trend
    When in pain wed never pretend
    Upon each other wed forever depend

    But I knew it was too good to be true
    We share problems very few
    Of how I feel you havent a clue
    And were no longer one, but two
    Away from each other weve slowly drew
    And all our problems gradually brew
    So much has happened, no longer a crew
    Together we didnt even live it through

    Forever friends we no longer are
    Were not so close, but very far
    Upon my heart youve left a scar
    Thoughts just seem to run bizarre

    I thought wed be forever friends
    Wouldnt end with any twist in fate
    Wed keep our path in destiny straight
    And wed keep it going no ends

    Too good to be true.

    A freind is someone
    who helps when you're down
    senses when you're going under
    and won't let you drown

    A friend is someone
    who knows when you're in pain
    and will do all they can
    to make you smile again

    A friend is someone
    who is loyal and true
    so if thats what a friend is

    what the hell are you??

    A year ago...
    by J. Lau

    A year ago...
    I told you I had feelings for you,
    That it's something I cannot control.
    Your heart was occupied,
    So you never felt any sparks.
    Friends it is we agreed,
    For we both treasure this new friendship,
    That was clearly meant to be.

    A year later...
    My feelings for you never faded,
    I held onto a dream... of being with you someday.
    The situation is complicated,
    Yet you took me pass the limit.
    I finally shared my secret thoughts,
    And showed you a couple of my poems.
    You claim that we are impossible,
    That all that happened was a mistake.
    Emotions felt were only mixed confusions,
    That I need to forget and erase.

    A year of waiting...
    A weekend of hope... and now memories.
    Feelings that were once burried,
    Must now disinigrate forever.
    Your heart was never truly healed,
    For your hopes never gave in.
    Living our own wishful dream,
    Crying our own painful cries.
    Friends I wish not,
    Cause I trully want you to be by my side.
    I promised to step back our friendship,
    In fear of loosing that only chance to hold onto...
    A dream... from a year ago.

    Friends it is we claim,
    But how true will it remain?
    Can a friendship be broken by love?
    Can feelings and emotions truly be undone?
    Only time will tell...
    In the year to come.
