I've been up since Monday,
Not an ounce of sleep
I feel so dead inside
But that ain't stopping me -
From smiling on the outside

Because a song I listened to last night,
That provoked certain thoughts and urges,
Said that it doesn't matter what's on the inside;
That you need to shove it deep down inside and just smile
Because only what's on the surface matters

So that's what I've been doing so far -
In the 2 hours I've been in public and around my best friend
I've smiled and threw jokes out
Laughing perfected fake laughs
Pretending that I'm sleeping while the world was dreaming
That I was having a happy dream in a cozy slumber

I pretend I wasn't crying all night long, alone
As I convinced myself that my best friend didn't need me;
When I get in those episodes where the need to die is so strong,
I can never really imagine a scenario where she cares or wants me around

But there's one scenario - one moment where she vaguely does
And it's when I see myself in my casket being lowered into my grave
I can see her sad and crying sometimes depending on the night
But others she just stares, remotely sad

Though, what do I care?
I'm dead and free
True story that's based on only facts hah.

Finding loopholes and skipping class;
Playing substitutes like pawns

We try to sneak away together,
My best friend and I

Making petty lies -
We smudge reality and falsity

Our second year of high school
And we're already aces of forged passes and coming up with smoothly said ******* excuses when questioned

It is in between classes when we roam the halls
That we hatch our plans and ideas, building excuses

A few failed attempts
Though we still have many tallies on our side of success

There is an in between that no one likes to talk about
And that my friend, is home to me
The last two stanzas don't really go with the poem and I apologize but I really like the last stanza and don't know what to do so my poem can flow into that last bit but whatever.
Feel free to share revision ideas (:

my best friend is beautiful
yet she refrains from seeing it
so i will remind her every day.

she always finds a way to make me smile
even when im crying, she helps me pull through

shes strong and knows just what to say
i dont think she knows
how much i appreciate her existence

you stood by my side when i kept overthinking
feeling scared and alone.
you stood by my side and became my best friend.

its rare to find someone these days who is true
and who will stay by your side no matter what.

so thank you.
thank you for being there
through all the ups and downs.

I love you <3

“Sometimes I wonder what I would do
If I lived in a world without you
There is no way I could go on
I would end it all, anon, anon!

If I didn’t have you here
I might as well pick out my bier
Without you, nothing does feel right
Even thinking of you, awake at night

To know that you aren’t doing the same
Would leave me woeful, breathless, lame
I cannot live without you, my love”
So goes the song of the midnight dove

With tears on its face
And it’s mind out of place
There is no need for it to wonder
It’s already happened, though it hides under

All the “I love you’s”
And the “I love you too’s”
So distraught is the dove
As it’s all out of love

Because it spent it all on you
We've all been in this situation, and I'm sure you can understand the pain I'm going through right now. She's pushed me away, and yet she still wants me to stay. She tells me I'm her everything...her boyfriend doesn't like that at all.

See girl, your soul is mighty and pure,
Filled with comforts so serene-
And your mind is made up of fortresses,
Stronger than any part of me-
I’ll never give up if it means bringing you home,
To the comforts you once knew-
The safety of your own body and mind,
Every beautiful part of you.

a bestfriend is unbreakable
firm yet shapable
a living gift learning to drift
away, from her problems
a living comforter made sweet

inexplicably beautiful
my favorite human
my best friend
it's been a while
you're still walking through hell trying to find yourself
fighting everyday
searching for something to fill the void
you are not you're struggles, you're bigger

never leaving
a pinky promise

I've known him forever
From that first day he waved through his window
To now when I can tell what he wants to say with a glance at his eyes
He's the reflection I see when I look in my mirror
Our minds always in sync
Even when we're miles apart
We have conversations with one look

I understand the littlest of his moves
From the slight raise of his brows when he's tensed
To the flex in his toes when he's mad
I have every bit of him memorized like my old favorite song
Fighting him was like getting stuck in a maze with no way back except the one leading to him
I know all the nooks and crannies of his heart
What makes it pound and what makes it squeeze

And I sure felt it do both that day
And I knew it wasn't for me
And realisation punched me in the stomach

I loved him!

Always have, always will
But that heart beats for another
I hate myself whenever you hug me beside you
Squeezing my hands and telling her you love her

The face I could paint even in my sleep became one I dreaded like the plague
Because that wave was no longer mine
That smirk no longer for me

I realized then why they say a boy and girl can't be friends
What Friend zoning meant
Because then I understood that
I found my soulmate, but he didn't.

It hurts like hell to be Friendzoned especially when the other party Knows nothing of your existing feelings
