Betrayed Friend Poem

My two best friends decided to end our friendship at the same time. I'd never been so hurt in my life.

Broken Friendship

© Redridinghood
We said it was forever - said we'd never part,
I knew it was a line, but I still gave both of you my heart.

Said you would stay, promised you could,
You chose to walk away, I knew you would.

You’re not there anymore, my dearest friends,
I hate to say this, but it is our end.

By day you’re one person, by night another,
Neither of them have anything to do with each other.

I sit here and cry for you - not for me,
What you've become, I wish you could see.

In your life you make friends that you're sure are true,
Nothing else matters, except what's between them and you.

You don't know if anyone has ever before felt this way,
For them you took breaths, you wanted to be alive everyday.

It hurts to loose a friend, it gives you the saddest frown,
And when a second one bails, it's like getting kicked while
you're down.

And it hurts to be accused of something you didn't do,
You guys should know better than anyone, that I would never even think to.

You planted a knife in my back,
You were my life, but now, my memories of you are completely black.

I am afraid to love another, but I know I shouldn't be,
Because the people in my life, are perfect for me.

There is this game I play,
Where I close my eyes and fade away.

I can't believe it's true,
but in this place, I can't even remember that I loved you.

You can't fix something that's already done.

  • My "bestest friend" or so I thought. We met when we were both 19 and had a strong friendship till I was 31. or so I thought. I would hear things from another friend, telling me "she isn't what you think" I did not believe it, I could not believe it. When we would argue or get into it, it seemed I was always the one who would initiate the "makeup". I did not care if I did, I just wanted my friend back, she was everything to me, more than any man could ever be. We were like one, dressing the same, acting the same, talking the same. It just seemed natural like we were one.

  • I know exactly how you feel. Once I too had a very close friend we were like sisters and we told each other everything. One day she made up this lie that I swore at her and chucked her dirties, then one week later she made up this rumor that I was going out with this guy. Eventually it got to him and he told his family (idiot)..then two days later another close friend that I knew for 4 years believed these rumors and betrayed me, and started talking about me. I changed schools now and I have a new friend but it still hurts and gets to me from time to time, and sometimes it effects the friendship me and my new friend have..
