No one ever hurt me the way you did
I never knew what it was to cry
Until I found you
I never knew what it was to beg
To see the man I knew so well
Come back to me again
I had never been as angry at you
For tearing me apart and exposing
Everything that I held dear
Or as bitter as I felt
That I had let you
The things you said
Still recite inside my head
Your face no longer haunts my dreams
And I do not see
Your hysterical crying face
Or hear the desperation in your voice
Losing you was one of the hardest things
For my heart to heal from
And for my soul to bear
When I saw your face
For the first time
Since we were both fifteen
It was as if it had never happened
I forgot about the sadness
The fear, the hurt, and the anger
And for the first time
I was able to let go
Of the person that I knew
At look at you anew
I still love you and you are
And will always be
My dearest friend
The one who touched me deepest
Author notes
A friend and I parted ways pretty badly after being so close for so long. It was a really low point in both our lives and hurt me very deeply. This poem finds me at peace and willing to forgive.
Can you relate?

Your emotions spill on to the page so lovely, it's so very hard parting ways but sometimes it helps to get it out. Wonderfully written.

Thank you so much for the kind words. And parting ways with each other was probably one of the best decisions. Again, thank you.
