A sad excuse for a friend
You say you like me a lot and think we should hang out
Well, the hell with that
since you don't even mean it.
I'll carry on in the same miserable way that I have before
before you came into my life and ripped if apart
before you tricked me and disgraced my feelings
before you showed me just how good of an actor you really are
or showed how naive I actually am
Thank you for killing me from within
And making me look like a fool in front of everyone, friend and enemy alike
For making me cry every night
and causing every step to be filled with pain
And thanks for turning my friends against me
(I really appreciate it)
even if they didn't know that it was me who actually wrote such nice stuff about you
Yeah, I know who wrote it
None other than my friend from last class
Do you just like using everyone around you
or is it just instinct to you?
Do you honestly think that causing others misery causes you so much pleasure?
You seemed so nice, the way you smiled at me everyday
And talked to me so willingly
You walked with me and laughed a lot
And said hello with a wave
Every time you saw me
But all you really wanted to do was to do harm me
in such an irreversible way that no one has before
To cause me enough contrition for ten people
and humiliation enough for dozens more
When all I wanted was to be friends
You just shoved me out the door

I like the fact that you began to post some of your work, too.
ReplyDeleteThis one is relate-able in its simplicity. Be careful of cliches when you are writing about emotion - if you use too many, some will write it off as unimportant or typical.
I think the rhyme at the end is interesting - the way you broke it up, and the way the piece doesn't rhyme throughout the rest. Is this for a reason?
I definitely have to try to work on that, thank you so much for the advice. Your poems and writing style is so amazing, I hope someday I become even half as good as you at writing.
ReplyDeleteThe rhyming was actually unintentional, it just sort of came out that way and I just left it like that. I don't really redo the poems I've already written because I feel like I'll just end up messing them up even more. I'll try to fix it though.
I can just make an excuse as to why it rhymes at the end only. Because it's out of place like how everyone in their own life feels XD I'm only kidding of course.
