Betrayed Friend Poem

I wrote this for my best friend. She cheated on her boyfriend of four years, and then dumped him for another guy who is out of control. What she doesn’t know is her ex was about to get her a ring.

The Pain Of Friendship

© Nicole
You have been my best friend for the last couple years
We stood together through the laughter and tears
Today the tears are not mutual; they are just in my eyes
I can’t believe my best friend got caught up in these lies

I’ll never turn my back on you, our bond I is too strong
I just wish you would admit what you have done is wrong
I try to support you in whatever choices you make
But if I supported you in this I would be making a mistake

You have stepped on a lot of true friends by making this choice
When I try to talk to you it seems that I have no voice
It hurts so badly when I think of what you have done
I want to leave you behind but I don’t have the courage to run

You are my best friend but I don’t know you anymore
But you have shut everyone out and lost the key to the door
You will never understand how much pain you’ve caused us all
But I’m still ready to catch you when you’re are ready to fall

  • Hi; I am 13 years old and in the 8th grade I have a best friend name heaven Evans and she was diagnosed with cancer 3 months ago. I wanted to go commit suicide. But now I know its not the best for the both of us! I was on the phone with her asking her why she wasn't at school she said Ashley I think its time for me to tell you I have cancer. I broke down and started balling my eyes out. My daddy had cancer and now he's gone. It the most terrify thing in the world. :( I cry every single day of my life :((

  • I'm so sorry girls for what your friends did to you. No one deserves that no matter what they do and if friends believe what they were told by other people then I guess they weren't really your friends at all. I'm a nice person and would never do that to my friends.

  • Hey this poem has really helped me! I'm only 13 so it's not the same story with the ring, but me and one of my best friends got into a big fight and most of the lines are true about our fight. The end when it says the I will always be there to catch you when your ready to fall helped me realize that I do want to still be her friend and now we are Best friends again!!! Thanks so much and now me and a different friend who was involved in the drama are doing a project for English using this poem. Thanks again! I love your poem!! it really is true(;

  • We both were very close, our friendship brought always jealousy in the heart of our other friends... we never thought of parting, but now I realize meet and part is the art of life... with a silly reason my friend stopped approaching me, now no respond to my call.... it hurts me so badly, his thoughts keep rushing my mind with rough waves of the sea I miss him every second of my life.... I run to my door when I hear a knock .... by expecting that would be my loved one.... above poem is very true..

  • You know... we are going to have challenges and they are not meant to hurt, but strengthen. I'm so sorry your friend had to do that. It must have been very hard. I too have a best-friend that makes those bad choices. And I convince her that they're wrong, but she won't listen. I feel like giving up. However, I can't run away from her. She's too special.
