If you were really my best friend, you'd know that all I needed was for you to be there for me. I didn't need to know the truth. I already knew I had ******* up. I just needed you to assure me that everything would be okay. But instead, you were there for him, acting like what I went through wasn't hard, telling me how much I messed up, assuring me that everything that happened was my fault. True friends don't do that. Ex-friends do.

My Ex-friend
When it comes to forgiveness, you won't forgive, you won't budge. You truly hate my guts and you sure do know how to hold a grudge. I did you wrong but you did me wrong too. But forgiving me is something you won't do. I'll admit that I made mistakes but when it comes to admitting yours, you won't. I wanted to make up with you but after seeing how much you hate me, I don't. If there's ever a grudge holding contest, I know that you'll win first place. You hate me and because of that, I hope we never meet again face to face. I wish that you didn't hate me but sadly, it's true. You want nothing to do with me and because you hate me, I want nothing else to do with you.

us
Eyes beaming to boisterous belly laughs of old friends- pursuing painted sunsets and cold winds. Made me feel like a man, from your alcohol and wine. She said, “where were you when I wasn’t fine?” Deluded her with my plausible lies, truth be told- You were forgotten, but I’m not your foe. Is he a better charmer whose eyes light up your den? Lost a good friend, cause’ I left for some men. Oh, how foolish I was, I cried more than I could chew. Truth is I am not a man without you.

Lost with Boys
I lost a friend I didnt expect it to end A friendship like godsend Out of the blue Got a message felt like getting the flue Got me all dizzy Couldnt believe what i saw so i acted busy What can i say what can i do I thought when we said forever together it was true Did i do something wrong  ? All i could do is to dive headlong I demanded a reason I havent done no treason All i heard was empty excuses I couldnt let it go easily I cant be one who loses But i was losing the argument breezily  I can't force my presence on someone If it all it does is hurt them So i had to let go But i felt so dumb

An ex friend
I'm cast into blue icy depths, Those eyes of yours and mine had met, A hardened hate is what I felt But I don't know of damage dealt With you I had not a squabble When we first met your affections toppled! If I may, then I will guess He fed you lies Must be the reason for those freezing eyes I’d love to tell you how I thought It went to hell But you two wander off. I'm pulled out of the frozen waves, Into suburbs Where we all live Your kids come over every other Day to play with mine A jostle and I'm back again Watching your backs walk fast again, I wish we had a different fate, But I see now, your hearts are hard, My character must have been flawed It is of no effect to me, Cause if ever a time were to arise, Or God decides there will be rain, For you two, I hope to be near So that I may hear all your tears, Stop As aid comes around But you will not know from whom, And I'll leave without a sound.

To my Frie- once Friend
You remind me of a ****** eraser. I don't mean hard on the outside and soft on the inside. No. I mean frustrating to deal with, not worth the effort, and you leave a dark mark in your wake. You remind me of a bad cup of coffee. No, no, not bitter, that's all me. But you? You're stale, like I should have poured you down the drain instead of consuming you, hoping you'll improve my day. You remind me of a Beach Boys song. Not because I want to take you anywhere near the Florida Keys-- ugh-- Because for the love of ******* God, no matter what I do, I can't seem to get you out of my head.

Things You Remind Me Of
My blood still flutters at the thought of you being all I thought you were. My face gains a freckle every time I remember that you and I watch the same sunset every night. Is it ever gonna be enough? Treading water is getting old. Can’t live with you, can’t live without you.

i can’t say your name anymore
I finally feel I can be happy again Now that I’ve shed my metaphorical Skin I no longer feel the crawling sensations of the insecurities you Conjured up for me I can no longer feel the burn in my chest After you’ve passed on my secrets To uninvited ears Because you will never get another one from me nor will you ever know another part of me I am done living in your shadow because you thought me incapable of true friendship Without  you I will grow into the most beautiful and best me like a **** that held me back you will no longer break me and pick me apart and keep me from growing

DON’T BE FOOLED, PEOPLE DON’T CHANGE
You don't understand what you've done You think this is funny till it really happens hunny You are calling me all these names thinking its a joke, till you choke Killing yourself isn't something to be proud of so don't be joking about it to someone who is unavowed It's to the point where I'm barely holding together wanting to pull the trigger since all I'm in is cold weather Your 14, skinny, perfect, and smart, as you're over here calling me words, that shouldn't be heard. She thinks its all fun and games till I actually aim, lives are changing so you won't be able to claim ... claim my life you're trying to tame.

Bullying
We're high enough without the drugs So teach me how to forget you 'Cause I don't know how to forget you Please just help me to forget you All I want is to forget you I swear. Those five words buried deep within ourselves. We paraphrase our hearts. We summarize our feelings. I'd never let you go because I never loved you. And that's the way it has to be. The way it is. From the last time to the first.

Ninety Three Degrees
she was everything you weren't, she cared when you didn't i trust her with things i'd never tell you, she holds me so tightly, unlike you, she understands when i can't speak, and she doesn't push me. she is amazing, but that's why i'm so scared. because those were the same things i once said about you.

so called best friend
Do you think of me in the middle of your day? Does listening to a certain song trigger your painful memories of me? Do you see a certain image, a certain brand, a certain place and I appear inside your cluttered head? Do you think of me when you're alone in your room? Staring at the darkness of your ceiling, reminiscing my crooked smile and abrupt laugh? Does it cause a rippling effect inside your chest Remembering all the perfect memories we're created together? Do you regret what you've done to me? Knowing we're strangers and that's on your end of the blame, all fingers pointed towards you. Do you regret what you've done? Knowing I will always deeply resent you until my last breath, Knowing I will never call out your name like I use to before, Knowing I will never smile and bright up the moment I see you walk in the door, And knowing we'll never, ever share that type of love we once had before? Do you regret what you've done? Do you regret losing me?

Strangers
To the ******* who once was my bestfriend but has now forgotten about me Your tan skin and sweet smile was once my daily sunshine A reason for me to wake up in the morning and be energetic in school Your laugh pokes at my heart like a ring-less three point shot in a basketball game I watched my heart become the ball You shot through rings of fire That kept burning and burning But I played your game Like you played me Because you were once my best friend But now you’ve forgotten me You were once my daily sunshine And now my daily hell. I used to open Facebook and see a message notification Your name in bold letters with a simple "Yo" And a smile emoji And sometimes you'll tell me "Notice meeeee" With five Es in the me Now I open Facebook and see no message notification Your name in light letters with a seenzoned "Yo" And a smile emoji I'll archive our thread And I'll try to forget about you But when you go online I always tend to notice you I see your name on the active list And see your posts as you tag them And not me. You used to send me random lyrics And made me listen to random music You used to tell me "You can count on me like one, two, three I'll be there" But when I needed you I did count on you like four, three, two But you did not come You were not there I did not even see your shadow when I asked for help I never saw you by the audience during my performances I've stopped watching your basketball games Because I am done watching you Shoot my heart through rings of fire Watching it break on the same court where you taught me to play I've stopped messaging you on Facebook Because I am clearly just another message you have already read And I was just another friend You have already forgotten. 19:09 - 19:28 7 April 2017

Methanol I was a bandage which you ripped off as soon as your wounds were healed, because I was loyal and what a mistake that was because I can't be anything else, except what lies on the opposite end of the spectrum; completely detached and indifferent. Maddening methanol, blinding me with your impurity, but now I see what a fraud you were. "Losing" you didn't injure me, your absence didn't sink its teeth into me; you were sour as sudden abandonment, I was more than glad to be rid of you.

Novem
It's not so much a longing as it is pure curiosity, but there's no need to reopen closed wounds. Sugar soothes my scars, but you're salt, and we were meant to fall apart eventually. So, I will call some neutrality (this is my doing so), because we all **** up, and I've no ill will left to poison anyone with, and I will be here if you ever need me.

Sometimes I check on you- to make sure you're still here. And I'm certain you don't know I do, but I do. I haven't even seen you in more than a year and, truthfully, I don't really want to now. But that doesn't mean I want you dead.
