Forever

When you said we'd be best friends forever
I really thought that you meant it
I told you everything that was going on
And you always listened and helped me out

We had so many uncontrolable laughs together
About the most ridiculous things in the world
I trusted you with my life
And then you through that life away

I kept your secrets and you kept mine
No matter what you vowed you wouldn't tell
Not even one soul like your Cousin
A promise kept

I had this flopping gutsy feeling everytime
We had an arguement or a disagreement
That I couldn't hault or try to settle
Because it was naturally like that

That one day I stood up for my other best friend
You decided to tell your Cousin one of my secrets
Went behind my back and talked crap about me
Like you always do to everyone else

I didn't really care because I am used to you
Backstabbing me and talking about me
Wow! Get a life and find some other girl
To take 5 years getting bossed around like you did to me

My true best friends Katie and Chey are always
There for me like you said you would be
But your not anymore
Your practically nothing to me right now

I've had enough of these immature fights
Grow up and move one like I did
Stop ranting about me and others
Because your just jealous that I have friends

Quit acting like your friendships are perfect when they're a real mess
Stop judging books by their covers when you have a hidden agenda
Enough speaking hurtful words to people because you wouldn't like that either
Get your prioritys straight and try to be more better

I have put that all in the past and only think of the future
You should do that too instead of just trying to cover it up
Gain some respect and you will get it back
Just put it all behind you and move on

Face it, your a nobody without me by your side
No one ever talks to you when Im not there
Stop acting cool to fit in when you were meant to stand out
Try being the better person and just quit while your at it

You treated me like dirt for all these years
And now your the one who is getting stepped on
Maybe it will teach you a lesson that finding your true self
Is actually greater than any secret in the universe

Please pack up your belongings now and take some dignity too
I don't have anymore room for people like you in my heart
So just grow up, be mature and come back when your ready to vow
You will never do that ever again

This big scar on my heart is still healing from those unspoken words
It has patched up this friendship and made me realize all the time I wasted
Standing there and being told what to do when I didn't want to do it
This little girl is evolving into a mature young lady who doesn't tolerate nonsence

When you said we would be best friends forever
I actually thought that you meant it
But now I understand that life is unkind to teach us a lesson in friendship
And I guess forever isn't as long as we think it is


Author notes

Please take this poem to heart. I have experienced this over and over but now I have had enough. I have stood up for myself which you should all do. Don't let anyone get you down because in the end, you will have a better life and they will still be looking back and crying for their stupid mistakes. Never let them get you discouraged at all. You will feel much better when you just let it all out. Loosing 1 friend is better than loosing all.

    Feisty Writer,

    You do stand up for yourself in sustained verses. [I feel poems for contests need correct spelling: threw;
    argument; halt; you're; priorities; I'm; nonsense.]

    Your verse is forceful as you bubble over with angst. I suppose one could say the writing of this is therapeutic in itself. Thank you for entering this contest, friend. Your last line lingers in my memory.

    Beautiful poem full of emotion and feelings. I know who this is about, and she's not worth your time. If she wants to just treat you like crap, then put her next to the garbage bin with all the other sh*t. Great poem. Kudos and itwasallyellow! Good luck in my contest little one
