Broken Friendship Poems

Poems about Leaving a Friendship

Friendship is one of the main things that makes life worthwhile. When you have a friend to confide in, suffering seems more bearable, and pleasures are more intense. Everything is better when you have a friend to share it with. When a friendship breaks, whether or not it is for the best, there is a degree of pain and mourning that an individual goes through. There were things that you may have done only with that person and you feel a void in your life. Take some time to let yourself mourn before moving on to other relationships.

66 Broken Friendship Poems on Loss, Betrayal, and Fighting

1. Walk Away
- By Mili Jain
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2010
This was written for two of my best friends.

I watch you walk away from me,
And the tears start to fall.
I ask myself a million times,
How did we lose it all?

I watch you walk away from me,
And the tears start to fall.
I ask myself a million times,
How did we lose it all?
For the first time I had no words
That to you I could say.
I cling to old memories
And I watch you walk away.
I just don't want to let you go,
But inside I know I must.
My heart's whimpering with pain,
But it's my mind I trust.
There's confusion around me,
There's numbness in my heart,
But looking at you walk away
My world just fell apart.
If only I could handle it
And bear to just say,
I'd use my breath and say the words:
Don't Walk Away!

2. A Friendship Lost
- By Brenda J. Metz
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 2007
We don't always know the reason why friendships are severed, but one thing is for sure, it leaves a void in those who were part of it.

I remember the time not long ago
When we laughed and shared it all.
We were the very best of friends,
Or at least that's what I thought.

I remember the time not long ago
When we laughed and shared it all.
We were the very best of friends,
Or at least that's what I thought.
I often wonder why friendships end.
What happens to sever that tie?
How can someone once so close
Just wave you off with a goodbye?
I must have been lacking.
I must have been wrong.
I wasn't the friend to you
That you were to me all along.
I thought I was loyal.
I know I was true,
But something went wrong.
Now there's nothing to do.
A friendship lost
Is a very sad thing.
The angels weep instead of sing.

3. Abandon
- By Georgie
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2016
I lost my best friend. She helped me through the worst of times like when I was picked on and when I was having guy troubles. She was the one person I looked up to for advice. And she betrayed me. Now I have no one...

Poem About Friend No Longer Being There For You

I looked up to you when times were bad.
I looked up to you when I was sad.

I always laughed when you were by my side,

I looked up to you when times were bad.
I looked up to you when I was sad.

I always laughed when you were by my side,
until you went behind my back and lied.

I felt so betrayed and so alone
and began to realize your true colors that had shown.

You hurt me so badly that nothing can compare.
You were the one with whom my secrets I thought I could share.

You helped me through bad times when people were so mean,
and now that you're gone, I feel so deceived.

You lied to my face, one only could tell.
You left me alone; now I feel like I'm in hell.

I have no one to turn to to ask for advice.
Your leaving me like this is like being squeezed by a vice.

I'm in pain; it's not easy to see, and since you've been gone,
I have no one beside me.

I try to find more friends that are as fun as you,
but the more I try, I realize there is nothing more I can do.

You're gone forever, whether you know it or not.
Me being stuck in this world alone like this, I'd rather be shot.

Goodbye forever; you ruined my ability to forgive,
and now like this for the rest of my life I shall live.

4. Forgiveness
- By Roberto Rigby
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2016
I had a friend who was truly caring. Over time she became like family to me. However, recent drama has caused us to stop being friends, and it hurts deeply. I wish I could send this to her, but she wants nothing to do with me anymore.

Poem About Seeking Forgiveness

What can I say about what I've done?
I miss the laughs we shared, how we had fun.
Now we don't talk; we're complete strangers.
How did our problems become this major?

What can I say about what I've done?
I miss the laughs we shared, how we had fun.
Now we don't talk; we're complete strangers.
How did our problems become this major?
I was too blind to ever see
How much you really did care for me.
I threw it away and hurt you deeply.
I cry inside thinking how it could be.
We became so close in such a short time,
And I know that I'll never find
Another friend like you, someone who was true,
Honest and caring,
Could tell you anything and you wouldn't mind.
How can someone find a person so kind?
You didn't deserve the way it ended.
Because of all this, I wish I was dead.
I should've found another way.
Maybe we could still kick it and not be away.
I called you my sister and meant every word.
Now part of my soul is gone, feels like part of my heart was cut by a sword.
It's all my doing, this whole mess,
And I must confess all I wanted was to be a brother to you.
All true, though you'll probably never believe it.
I never wanted all this drama bit.
I'm not asking for you to talk to me,
'Cause I know our friendship can never be.
All I ask is for true forgiveness,
And if you can find it in your heart, then I'll go about my business.
I'll never be the same.
I'll live with the shame.
I'm sorry for hurting you; I wish you happiness.
To my friend, my sister,
Please, all I want is forgiveness.

5. First And Last
- By Claire
- Published by Family Friend Poems March 2010
I wrote this for a friend who hasn't been much of a friend.

Poem About Moving Past Broken Friendship

Today will be my last and today will be my first.
The last time I get walked on by you,
The first time I've moved so far from you.
The last time I will wait for you to arrive,

Today will be my last and today will be my first.
The last time I get walked on by you,
The first time I've moved so far from you.
The last time I will wait for you to arrive,
The first time I know for sure I can survive.
The last time you apologize for your mislead ways,
The first time my feet are at home in the sand and the waves.
The last time I will worry if you are all right,
The first time I can watch the sea all night.
Today is the last day our friendship will survive.
Tomorrow I'll spare a thought and regret this day arrived.

I wish you well and I hope you're happy,
But I can't carry on with you being so dappy.

If your heart should change at all,
Just be sure to give me a call.
I will always be here hoping for you
To be the person you know you're supposed to.
Life is hard with many changes,
But it does get easier through the ages.

So every time you look at a twinkling star,
Just remember that's me smiling from afar.

6. Just Like
- By Katherine Ayala
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 2008
This poem is all about using similes. The poet compares her situation to various objects. Our experiences in life can be compared to objects. For example, if someone is bright and cheery, we might compare her to a ray of sunshine. If someone is mean, we might compare those words to the hiss of a snake.

Short Poem About Breaking Up With A Good Friend

Just like a glass
my heart is broken
Just like a star
you light up my life

Just like a glass
my heart is broken
Just like a star
you light up my life
Just like a rose
that blooms it's beauty
Just like the rain
that never stops crying
Just like another human being
you let go of me
Just like others
you broke my heart
Just like clouds
you are soft
Just like bullets
that you shot into my heart

7. Shipwreck
- By Devavrat Bishwa
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2017
This is about how people change so quickly, how you trust them but they leave you shattered. This poem is about how your most trusted friend can leave you shattered in pieces and scattered in all emotions.

A Mighty Storm Made From Anger And Betrayal

Like a gentle wave, you swayed against my ship.
With a gentle breeze, you guided me forward.

As the sun sank into the ocean,

Like a gentle wave, you swayed against my ship.
With a gentle breeze, you guided me forward.

As the sun sank into the ocean,
Light quickly turned into an endless night.

Your clouds surrounded my night sky,
Covering all the stars.
You moved as fast as lightening,
Yet roared as loud as thunder.

Your anger, formed as a storm,
Filled the night sky.
Your gentle touch turned into piercing thorns.
You left me on the sand so sore.

As the moon set upon the horizon,
Dawn broke and filled the sky.
You left me on the sandy shore,
Yet I never asked why.

I came, I stayed.
I fought and cried,
And in the end I was left
Shipwrecked.

8. Failed Friendships
- By Melanie S.
- Published by Family Friend Poems March 2008
This poem is about losing friends that you've known for a long time. And if you're like me, it's hard to just let go.

Death Of Friendship Poem

Do you know what it feels like to be left behind?
Losing everyone around you in such little time.

I try not to worry since they're left in the past,

Do you know what it feels like to be left behind?
Losing everyone around you in such little time.

I try not to worry since they're left in the past,
But it's hard going through life knowing nothing ever lasts.

It's hard to hide behind this frown,
When on the inside you're on the verge of a breakdown.

I've lost everyone that meant the world to me.
All I have left of them are these memories.

You have no idea how badly I want them back.
But they've left me in the past, which was their plan of attack.

The pain of losing them will never go away.
I'm tired of feeling like this every day.

I feel like I no longer belong.
I fake my happiness to show nothing's wrong.

9. Broken Friendship
- By Anne Katrine
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2011
My two best friends decided to end our friendship at the same time. I'd never been so hurt in my life.

Poem About Losing Two Friends At Once

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.

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 every day.

It hurts to lose 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.

10. The Universes Of Hurt
- By Marthe

I wrote this poem when my best friend betrayed me a year ago.
It's the worst pain I've ever felt, cause I really loved her.

Hurt By Best Friend Poem

I gave you happiness
You accepted it
I offered you care
You embraced it

I gave you happiness
You accepted it
I offered you care
You embraced it
I gave you love
You accepted it
I gave you a lot
But you took everything

I asked for happiness
You hurt me
I asked for care
You ignored me
I asked for love
You pushed me away
I asked for a little
But you kept it all

I gave you the possibility
To hurt me deeply
When I loved you
You took an advantage of that

You're not dead
In this real
Cruel world

But in my heart
You no longer exist
There is just
A hole
As deep and powerful
As our friendship
Once was

Once upon a time
Up there
With the universes
The universe
Of all the things
I'd like to forget

11. We Were Always Meant To Be

I'm losing my best friend slowly, and it's killing me. This is to everyone who is going through this sort of pain. I hope you'll all get through this storm.

Pain When You Lose A Best Friend

We believed we were always meant to be,
But we're already falling apart, don't you see?
How could things have gone so wrong?
What if our time has come and gone?

All those broken promises and untold secrets
Still break my heart into a million pieces.

But now I've lost hope in you and me.
This silence between us is tearing me apart.
Will you ever come back for my broken heart?

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.

- By Yanill Rodriguez
- Published by Family Friend Poems November 2007
They were friends forever, seemed to be joined at the hip, but suddenly it seemed that they weren't on the same page anymore. The connection was no longer there.

Best Friends No More

Friends forever; you promised
together till the end.
We did everything with each other.
You were my best friend.

Friends forever; you promised
together till the end.
We did everything with each other.
You were my best friend.

When I said I need someone,
you were there by my side.
When I was scared,
you felt my fear.

You were my best support.
If I needed you,
you were there.
You were the greatest friend.

You always knew what to say.
You made everything seem better.
As long as we had each other,
everything would be all right.

But somewhere along the line,
we slowly came apart.
I was here, you were there.
It tore a hole in my heart.

14. Words
- By Wendy Brown Mignosa
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2014
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.

Poem: The Pain Of Betrayal: The Words Of Friends Cut The Deepest

"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.

"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.

15. Friends For Never
- By Danielle Enros
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2008
I want to dedicate this to my "friend" Victoria.

Friends forever, you promised.
Never to part, you said.
But now we've fought,
Words were thrown between us...

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.

16. You Think
- By Melissa Rose B. Bulaong
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2008
Friends are supposed to be trusted. But who knew that some friends just can't be trusted?

Some Friends Just Can't Be Trusted

You think you're so good.
Think you're so perfect in everything.
You think you can control my mood.
Please, you must be joking.

You think you're so good.
Think you're so perfect in everything.
You think you can control my mood.
Please, you must be joking.

I gave you all my heart.
I believed in everything you would say.
I trusted you from the start,
and everything went your way.

I guess I made my biggest mistake
when I became loyal to you.
You're one of those friends who is fake
in everything you say and do.

I thought your kindness would last.
But now I feel so used.
Because when I think of the past,
I thought you'd never give my heart a bruise.

Why did I ever rely on a word you said?
What did I ever do to deserve this pain?
I trusted you, but you hurt me instead,
And I don't know if I could believe you again.

17. A Broken Puzzle
- By Jessica M. Ward
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 2007
This poem describes the aching feeling of feeling broken after having felt whole.

When I found you,
I found me.
I was no longer alone;
I was put together.

When I found you,
I found me.
I was no longer alone;
I was put together.
There were no missing pieces.
We were the perfect puzzle.
Onlookers envied what we had.
We had so many beautiful memories
That they're not even possible to forget.
That part of my life was my life,
The life I loved.

Then I lost you somewhere
Along the way.
There were no fights or disagreements;
Our puzzle just broke.
Piece by piece, it fell apart.
Soon it disappeared.
I've tried to get it back;
I've done everything.
The pieces of the puzzle
Just don't fit together anymore.
I found your pieces reconnecting
With new pieces.
My pieces were left torn and shattered,
Alone in their box.

I just want one last look
At that beautiful puzzle we shared.
Even though it won't help me get over the pain,
The pain that has ruled my life for months,
I just can't close the cover to that puzzle box

18. This Is Our End
- By Jessica A. Phillipi
- Published by Family Friend Poems November 2007
When the person that you've known has betrayed herself, the time may come to make a painful decision. It may mean the end of your friendship.

Poem About A Broken Friendship

You can stand there and smile; you can sit there and laugh,
but you can't trick me; I know it's a mask.
You're trying to lie to me and everyone else,
but why is it that you're lying to yourself?

You can stand there and smile; you can sit there and laugh,
but you can't trick me; I know it's a mask.
You're trying to lie to me and everyone else,
but why is it that you're lying to yourself?
You can calmly sit there and try to look cool,
but I know your emotions, and I know you're a fool.
I know inside you you're feelings rage.
The suspense builds with the turn of a page.
By day you're one person, by night another,
and neither of them have anything to do with each other.
I've watched you sink farther from your heart,
and all of this just tears me apart.
I sit here and cry, for you, not for me.
What you've become I wish you could see.
No words could I use to help me explain
what it does to me to see you in pain.
You're not there anymore, my dearest friend.
I hate to say this but this is our end

- By Alexis
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2010
I wrote this poem when I thought I had lost my best friend to people who didn't deserve an awesome person like her and turned her to their side. I was momentarily confused at that time and still don't know what an actual friend is. I guess I won't until I find one. I hope someone else can relate to what I am talking about.

Are We Really Friends?

What are best friends?
Are they always there for you?
Do they keep secrets?
Do they hide from you?

What are best friends?
Are they always there for you?
Do they keep secrets?
Do they hide from you?

Do they stay by your side?
Or do they trash you to your enemies?
Do they comfort you in tough times?
Or do they make fun of you like you have fleas?

Do they pretend they care?
Do they stab you in the back?
Do they actually care?
Or do they use you?

I don't know what a best friend is
Because I thought I had one,
But it turns out,
She makes me feel like a fool.

I defended her in school
When everyone else made fun.
I hung out with her
Even if it meant not being cool.

After everything I do,
She ends up taking advantage of me.
Now she barely confides in me
Or even considers me a best friend.

She has kicked me out of her life.
Now I'm just another person that goes to school with her.
She is liked at school now,
With friends galore,
But she has kicked out the one
Who loved her for her.

So tell me,
Is this what "best friends" do?
Because if it is,
I would rather not have one,
I wouldn't want to hurt you.

Okay, this same thing happened with me. People used to tell me, "Ew, why do you talk to him?" Even he knows that I defended him. Still, I hung out, and he started saying, "I can't get rid of...

This poem expresses what happens when a guy and girl friendship has to come to an end and proves that old saying "guys and girls can't be just friends."

Platonic Relationship Don't Work

Who would have thought we'd be best friends?
Who would have known on you I could depend?
Who could have seen it would end so fast?
Now our strong bond remains in the past.

Who would have thought we'd be best friends?
Who would have known on you I could depend?
Who could have seen it would end so fast?
Now our strong bond remains in the past.
You were there for me as long as it worked for you.
I never realized how much I depended on you.
You've gotten lost in someone who is not worth your time.
I guess along the way I forgot you weren't "mine."
Now the person I thought you were has left my sight...
I swear, I tried so hard to keep us strong, I held with all my might.
When I finally got the nerve to tell you how it made me feel,
you tried to keep your heart from seeing it was real.
You let me walk out of your life and you didn't even know.
I think inside you had convinced yourself I'd never go.
Everyone always says guys and girls can't be just friends anymore.
We always used to laugh it off; I guess in our hearts we thought we were so sure...
Yet here I am, saying goodbye.
I gave it my all, I had to try,
and though I'm still around and you see me every now and again,
soon you'll see... you've lost your best friend.

I guess I know how my old best friend feels now. He and I were best friends from the time I moved to his school 8th-grade year. He became my life support. He chastised me when I started to...
