I Lost A Friend - Tumblr Posts
I hate those moments in the breaking of a friendship because you can feel your friend pulling back, giving shorter answers, they seem more annoyed with everything you do. And you try, you try so hard to stop it, bring out all the things you two once laughed about, try to be less, but nothing seems to work. And right now I'm just thinking about what's gonna happen once these short painful conversations stop altogether. There’s going to be nothing. I’m going to lose my friend. And have more painful words ever been written?
Good morning (at least for me)! Another poem for this lovely day :)
The Loss of a Friend
You promised me once that we’d go in together.
You worried I’d leave you - I laughed.
Yet now you pass me, not sparing a glance
Has so much time already passed?
You told me you’d need me,
That you’d never survive
That without me you’d die
Yet see how you thrive
You said you were envious, how I didn’t need you
I told you the truth - that I valued you
And now I ache, for I’ve lost a friend
Or something more? I never knew
At first, we smiled so happily
Shared a laugh, poked each other, made a joke;
You ruffled my hair, told me I was short-
Yet now it’s as if we never spoke
It’s not anger I feel, but rather sorrow
Your smile once meant so much
And I see it now, but never towards me
I never thought I’d miss your touch
We spoke all summer, and last year too–
Exchanging secrets like closest of friends
I saw you one morning for the first time in months
And perhaps that’s when this started to end
Did I sadden you? Anger you?
Make you feel as if I didn’t need you?
Or is it me that you no longer need
Now that all of this is through?
Your friendship was something I held in my heart
Yet it seems it no longer is within your own.
So now I only text you when it’s your birthday
And when I have a broken bone.
And late at night, when stars gaze upon me
The ghost of you silently lingers
I still remember your favorite color is blue-
When did our friendship slip through my fingers?
