This poem is for/about someone that was once the most important person in my life. She was my best friend. And when she decided she didn't want to be my friend anymore, it tore open a part of me that will never be filled. Even though I am now married, I still miss my best friend. And I know I will never be the same. I hope one day things change between us. I still hope. Maybe I am stupid, maybe it's my stupid Virgo personality of wanting to cling to people I cared about. But here it is. A mashup of different songs mixed with poetry.
Maybe she will read this and know the pain I am enduring. Maybe not. Maybe it will make a D I F F E R E N C E. maybe not. Maybe she won't even care. I don't know. I just know when you are inspired to write you HAVE to get it down. And here it is. To quote a song from The walking dead: "you will find loss, and you'll fear what you found. When the weather comes, oh, tear him down." I don't wish this hell on anyone, not even my worst enemy. But sadly it happens to everyone sooner or later. And depending on the impact you had on eachothers lives, it is the worst pain you can possibly feel. I hope I did a good job personifying it. Because it is truly a hell of the mind, the worst kind of hells. I would rather burn an eternity than deal with this. But I have no choice.
If you read this, former best friend, I miss you so much...
I saw the light fade from the sky
You left me in the dark
I will say this last goodbye
And I'm left with a shattered heart
Night is now falling, so ends this day
Out of my life, just gone
Now I'm left to carry on
The road is now calling, and I must away
But tears still sting my eyes
Some nights I still cry
Many places I have been
The memories are strong, like the sadness that dwells
Many sorrows I have seen
And I tread through my personal hells
But I don't regret, nor will I forget all who took that road with me
You may have left me hurting, bleeding
But I will never regret our meeting
And though where the road then takes me, I cannot tell. We came
all this way, but Now comes the day to bid you farewell
And from my life you may have part
But you're always in my heart
Hello Darkness my old friend; I've come to talk with you again
And that, is a two edged blade
Memories are also sorrows made
Because a vision softly creeping left its seeds while I was
sleeping. And the vision that was planted in my brain. Still
remains; within the sounds of silence
Memories I hold so dear
Memories of when you were here
By my side
It was a wonderful ride
and now you're gone
I must move on
In restless dreams I walked alone; narrow streets of cobblestone.
'Neath the halo of a street lamp. I turned my collar of the cold
and damp
But moving on, I don't know if I can
When still I care, I'll always give a damn
Memories of when you were here
Thought I had nothing to fear
I didn't walk alone
Now my heart is shattered stone
And in the naked light I saw; ten thousand people maybe more.
People talking without speaking. People hearing without listening.
I know I am partly to blame
That my life will never be the same
I know this sadness I partially wrought
A very hard lesson I am tought
I listened, but not maybe not as much as you needed
I spoke, but the warnings were not heeded
People writing songs that voices never share. And no one dared
disturb the sounds of silence
And now this part of my life is taken away
just a blink, a snap, you chose not to stay
Take my arms that I might reach you.
I tried, in the end
For us to make amends
But my words, like silent raindrops fell and echoed in the wells
of silence
But once more I was left in tears
As you brought about my fears
And left me alone in the end
Darkness, to ascend
Look around, there's no one but you and me
But now this is just an old memory
You're nowhere I can see
Right here and now, the way it was meant to be
And I'm left wondering how all we had made
shattered, crumbled, and began to fade
There's a smile on my face
But there are days in my mind I still see
When I was smiling because I was happy
knowing that together everything that's in our way; we're better
than alright.
And I just knew
My friendship with you
Was eternally strong
But I was wrong
Off into the sunset, living like there's nothing left to lose
Even if I was having a bad day
you were my ray
of light, that I sought
but you seem to have forgot
Just what we once had, you and I
And this...this is why I still cry
Chasing after goldmines, crossing the fine lines we knew
Not many had a friendship like we
I still don't have anyone like you, I know you see
Like the owl you so closely love
I see you still watch from above
Hold on and take a breath, I'll be there every step walking
between the raindrops with you
But that doesn't matter, you're not here
And this emptiness I fear
It still lingers on
I can't see to carry on
How can I move past my best friend
How can I be expected to let that end
You knew me like no one else
You knew me better than I knew myself
Take me now, the world's such a crazy place; when the walls come
down, you'll know I'm here to stay
You were supposed to be
right next to me
And now I have this rip in my heart
Why did you part?
Do you not care of my pain?
THAT is insane
There was a day this would never fly
And now I ask why
we let this happen to you and I
There's nothing I would change, knowing that together everything
that's in our way...we're better than alright
There's much I would change, if only I could
and you know fucking well I would
but I suppose now it's too late
I must endure this fate
It's been a long day without you my friend, and I'll tell you all
about it when I se eyou again
Maybe one day I WILL see you again
Maybe fate will send
the one person who truly was my best friend
And here I sit, typing and crying
Tears falling, sadness intensifying
We've come a long way from where we began
Too long, and not the right place
this emptiness I face
the sadness inside
My heart is torn open wide
Damn who knew, all the planes we flew good things we've been
through
I was supposed to be right here talking with you
Who knew
that we would be torn apart, ripped asunder
That my mind would be burried under
memories of you and I when we were friends
But now the sorror rends
heart and soul
sandess and tears
It seems OUR worst fears
Have come to pass
I pray it won't last
Everything I went through you were standing there by my side and
now you gonna be with me for the last ride
So it was supposed to be
You and me
Standing together in the end
Can we mend?
Can we stand?
Will you one day again take my hand?
Or will you let our friendship die
as I cry
as I bleed myself dry
of emotion, and turn stone cold
Grow emotionally old
lose the one friend I thought would I would die for
would die for me
and now I see
Doesn't want to be around me no more
It's been a long day, without you my friend and I'll tell you all
about it when I see you again. We've come a long way from where we
began, and I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
Maybe one day you we'll be friends anew
you'll be with me, I'll be with you
Maybe we'll stand together
Forever
As friends do
Me and you
I hope this comes to pass
That this fucking sadness doesn't last
That we find the same road
share the load
and once again
become friends
Cause despite what happened between me and you
I miss you
I wonder if you miss me
I wonder if I'll ever be
together again
With my long lost best friend
