Poems About Friends Fighting

Poems On Friendships In Conflict And The Journey To Reconciliation

Fighting is part of every real relationship. The key is knowing how to resolve the fight without breaking up the friendship. Often it is the individual who knows how to communicate by sharing his feelings and not pointing fingers who can diffuse the situation. Since both members of the friendship are feeling defensive, it becomes a risky and sensitive venture. It may talk a couple tries to fully resolve your differences but you will come out with a stronger friendship at the other end.

Fighting friends poems explore the struggles and challenges that can arise in close relationships. These poems often delve into the emotions and experiences of individuals as they navigate conflicts and try to find their way to reconciliation. They offer insights into the complexities of friendships and provide a reflection on the difficulties that can arise when two people care deeply about each other. Whether through heartache, anger, or forgiveness, fighting friends poems offer a powerful and relatable look at the ups and downs of close relationships

6 Poems On Friendships In Conflict And The Journey To Reconciliation

  1. 1. Friends For Never

    I want to dedicate this to my "friend" Victoria.

    in Friends I'm Sorry Poems

    Friends forever, you promised.
    Never to part, you said.
    But now we've fought,
    Words were thrown between us...
    And now I'm lying here crying on my bed.

    Part of me feels
    That it'll never be the same...
    Sure we've fought before,
    But they were always fixed,
    And we both took responsibility for the problem,
    But in this one fight,
    You said there was only one person to blame...
    Me.

    I've always been there for you.
    And I know I always will,
    Because I cared about you then,
    And I care about you still.

    Friends forever
    Was what we said we'd always be,
    But look what's happened today,
    We've fought and now you are gone...
    So what I really need you to see,
    Is what you made it feel like,
    All the tears I've cried,
    The hurt I've felt all through the night,
    You said friends forever,
    But really,
    It was friends for never.

    My friend and I are fighting and I hate it. Actually, both are hurting. This poem and a few others led me to believe my friend thinks I blame them. This couldn't be further from the truth....

  2. 2. Words

    I wrote this poem in the early morning hours after replaying the thoughtless remarks that a friend made earlier in the day. It seemed better to get my thoughts onto paper than to have them run around in my head.

    in Broken Friendship Poems

    "Give everyone the benefit of the doubt."
    That's what I always teach.
    But even my own words of wisdom
    are now somewhat out of reach.

    I cannot begin to explain my disappointment and distress
    caused by a friend who has yet to acknowledge my unhappiness.
    Unbelievably thoughtless, inexplicably rude,
    my anger is boiling over at such undeserved attitude.

    My time, my energy, my support and my constant concern
    are apparently shrunk down to nothing when asked for just once in return.
    Selfish? Unthinking? Or simply careless remarks?
    Origins don't really matter to me once they have entered into my heart.

    Wait it out, do not respond at all
    is what I am sincerely trying to do.
    But I may eventually lose that battle
    and the friendship could become a wound.

  4. 3. Best Friend

    • By Elizabeth K. Mackey
    • Published by Family Friend Poems October 2007 with permission of the Author.

    Once a close friend and now an enemy

    in Broken Friendship Poems

    I hate the way we were so close,
    I hate the way I like you the most.

    I hate the way you look and me,
    I hate the way you can't see..

    I hate the way I still want to be your friend,
    I hate the way this won't mend.

    I hate the way I hurt because of you,
    I hate the way it was just two.

    I hate the way you went about it,
    I hate the way you didn't show it.

    I hate the way our friendship ends,
    I hate the way that this can't bend.

    I hate the way you involved everyone,
    I hate the way that this is done.

    I hate the way I think of you,
    I hate the way that our friendship wasn't true.

    I hate the way I can't let things be,
    But most of all I hate the way you hate me.

  5. 4. Other People

    • By Alan Steinle
    • Published by Family Friend Poems April 2011 with permission of the Author.

    This poem provides a contrast between heaven and hell, as revealed by our relationships. Since we are all related and connected, our thoughts, words, and actions have a very real effect on others. The extent to which we value and affirm ourselves and others is the extent to which we create heaven on earth. And the extent to which we emphasize the mistakes of ourselves and others is the extent to which we create hell on earth.

    in Meaningful Poems

    Hell is other people.
    -Jean-Paul Sartre

    Hell is other people who
    No matter what you do
    Always find something to judge
    They drag you through the sludge
    And see through your thin disguise
    As they shred you with their eyes
    All their faults and lack
    They place upon your back
    Unable to see their own transgression
    It becomes their only obsession
    To find all of your flaws
    And all your broken laws
    And they won't even let you live
    Because they refuse to forgive

    Heaven is other people who
    No matter what you do
    Choose to see the best
    In you and forget the rest
    They don't dwell on your sin
    Since they want all to win
    They don't create divisions
    By their prideful derisions
    Of those with whom they differ
    For they know that the transfer
    Of their own guilt to another
    Will come back and smother
    Their efforts to be free
    And their search for unity

    That's so true. I am from somewhere where flat girls are considered beautiful. My friends often make fun of me because I am not flat like them, and it often makes me cry, but now I'm used to...

  7. 5. Enough Hurting Those Who Love You

    • By Erin
    • Published by Family Friend Poems April 2011 with permission of the Author.

    This poem is about a person that is burning bridges and hurting the ones who love them. I think it can apply to family, friends, and relationships.

    in Relationship Poems

    Wondering why you have so much hate
    Before you see it will be too late
    Trying to accept who you are
    Just seems far too far

    All the pain that you have created
    Just sits within you with so much hatred
    Hoping you will come to see
    What everyone else seems to believe

    All I want is for you to realize
    You are burning bridges with the one who tries
    Open your heart and let me in
    Before I just give up let it end

    It will be years to fix these issues
    I just hope by then I can still trust you
    How much more do you think I can take
    You won't see until it's too late

    Yes, it made me cry and get on my knees and pray to keep my relationship with my lady that keeps me in check.

  8. 6. Feeling Confused

    • By Mili Jain
    • Published by Family Friend Poems July 2013 with permission of the Author.

    I wrote this poem during a time when I was in a situation of choosing between two people and I didn't want to let go of either of them.

    in Broken Friendship Poems

    I can't concentrate on anything I do.
    The sky is turning grey from being sunny and blue.
    I'm trying to stay out of every feud.
    At this moment, I am feeling confused...

    Those disturbing thoughts take over my mind.
    Torn pages of this book called life, I need to bind.
    At every turn, I was being fooled.
    At the moment, I am feeling confused...

    I need to find out, to get back what I had.
    I'll put an end to everything that turns bad.
    I need to stop being just used.
    I need to stop feeling so confused.
