I Never Will Forget You

I never will forget you;
No matter how hard I try.
Looking back at the things we've been through;
I always break down and cry.

Between your girls and my guys,
We were there for each other.
Never asking "How?" or "Why?"
We were closer than sister and brother.

I could never imagine that you would leave;
I knew that we'd never be apart.
If someone were to tell me, I wouldn't believe,
But now I'm standing here with a broken heart.

We were so close, but she got in our way,
You took her side and left me all alone.
I hope one day that we'd be okay,
But I guess I just should've known.

I love you, but more as a friend;
I guess she just didn't understand.
And now, our friendship is nearing an end
Because you left me and took her hand.

I never meant to get in the way,
But I see that now we are through.
Maybe you'll come back to me one day,
But for now, I Never Will Forget You.

Wow... ty

I'll get to work ;)

Thankyou!!! Ok, here it is. If it has to be new I'll do another one. It does not state specifically that we are friends but throughout the poem it should become clear.

Underground

There was a man
Who I once new
And always swam
Into tears so blue

He had no house
But lived underground
And dwelled in the sewages
Where all he could hear was echoing sounds

You could hear him cry at night
For hours at a time
I don't know why
But he would sing songs that don't rhyme

Songs so sad
I cried with him
Feeling sorry for his past
And I would try to see him in the light so dim

He hid his face from the world
Ashamed of the thoughts of mankind
Even though I told him
That he needs peace of mind

Though I didn't see him
I slowly grew attached
Somehow I felt that
We were friend matched

But one night
I did not hear a cry
So I thought the worst
That he actually died

I called his name
Outside in the cold
And got no reply
So I decided to be bold

I crawled inside
The sewer so dirty and black
And what I found
Was the man lying by a sack

I shook him gently
And he jerked awake
Because he got scared
Trembling with a big shake

His eyes grew big
Put his hands to his face
Said,"Please don't hurt me!"
And hung is head in disgrace

I explained to him
It was alright
I came to check on him
In the middle of the night

He was bewildered
By my response
His face grew soft
And sat up and ensconce

We chatted for a while
Becoming very good friends
Understanding each other
Then he told me it was the end

The end of his journey
The end of his time
So now he had to
Say goodbye

I understood what he said
And couldn't help but crying
He wiped away my tears
Before dieing

Now he's gone
Yet my heart has found
Peace for the man
Who lived underground

Fading Memories ( i don't have your name on my final five) are you under somebody else's name??? Like, do you have two accounts or something?

You Were There

You were there through the sadness, the guilt, the strife,
You affected and changed my entire life.
Your heart was so pure, your voice was so warm,
I remember your words as you lay on my arm.

Through dating, the break ups, too much heavy make up,
I was there on the phone when you wanted to stay up.
You stuck by 'till the end, like a true friend,
Friendship so rare, hard to comprehend.

Though my heart is a pretzel, you manage to find,
A way to get past the maze in my mind.
Best friends last forever, that's what they all say,
Even until your last dying day.

I wish to believe them, I wish it was true,
That was 'till the day I thought I lost you.
It was a normal day, much like any,
Except that you lost it, you ran away from me.

You cried and screamed as I wrestled the blade,
Whispered and stared as the scars seemed to fade.
Trapped in your room, lost under moonlight,
That day was the day you fought with your might.

I tried to stop you, I truly did,
I saw every scar, every razor blade skid.
I heard the pills popping as you took too many,
I carried weights that were just too heavy.

I remember our secrets, our daily strife,
I chose to keep it, but you hated your life.
I don't know why, but it made me sad,
To know that you cried about mom and dad.

I tried to be there through the laughter and sorrow,
But I worry that you won't be here tomorrow.
You were there for everything, you listened to me,
Now it's my turn to be there for eternity.

Last day...

Okay, kitty....you don't have yours in yet so when you post, i will judge. Thanks to those of you who have gotten them in already!

Is it possible for me to change my poem? I have another friendship one that I would like to add.. I'll post it and if it's not allowed, please disregard. :)

A Phone Call

You promised me you were just a phone call away;
That not matter what, you'd listen to what I'd say-
But now you're gone; my heart left so broken;
By all the words that are still left unspoken.

I need to tell you things I've kept bottled up inside;
I need to let the tears out, now that I can no longer cry.
You were always there for me, to wipe tears off my face-
What am I to do without your sweet, loving embrace?

I reach for the phone, your number stuck in my head;
I dial blindly, trying not to recall what they had said.
"He's gone. I'm sorry. There was nothing we could do,
But he left a note and it's written for you."

Reading it over the phone, I broke down and cried.
I just couldn't believe that he could ever die.
"Babe, I love you, but this world's too tough.
I'm sorry to leave you, to deal with all this stuff.

I know it's not fair, but my life was too cruel;
Please don't think badly, for I am the fool.
Just remember the way I used to be.
Please, move on, just for the sake of me."

The rest of the words slurred as I spun around the room.
I felt like I was encased inside a closed tomb.
My knees got weak and then I fell to the floor;
I looked up and all I saw was the bedroom door.

I don't remember falling asleep, but it hit me when I woke-
The ringing in my ears was the words they had spoke.
"No!" I screamed as I stumbled and fell hard.
I knew that my life would be permanently scarred.

Getting up slowly, using the bed as a crutch,
I went to grab my phone, but it was cold to the touch.
Crying now, I couldn't believe what I had heard;
Trying to remember the words that were slurred.

"He said that he wanted you to have better friends-
It isn't your fault that his life came to an end."
I tried to believe him, but the effort, in vain.
My best friend was gone; now there's pain.

Hurting are my sides; tired were my eyes-
I never had cried so much, I realized.
It's truly over; I could believe it at all-
It all ended with A Phone Call.
