Fighting Friend Poems

Fighting between Friends

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.

10 Friendship Poems about Fighting

1. 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.

Poem About How Words Of Friends Hurt The Most

"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.

2. Best Friend
- By Elizabeth K. Mackey
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2007
Once a close friend and now an enemy

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.

3. 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...
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.

4. Feeling Confused
- By Mili Jain
- Published by Family Friend Poems July 2013
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.

Choosing Between Fighting Friends Poem

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.

5. What Happened To Us?
- By Destinie Chambers
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2008
I wrote this poem because my ex best friend and I got into an argument about this boy she loves. We both went out with him, but he wants to go back with me. So she said a bunch of lies to me, and now I ask in this poem, "What happened"?

Fighting With Friend

What happened to us?
We used to be cool
And now we don't even hang out around school

Where did the old days go?
Where we use to laugh and talk, joke around
Now we're never near each other on the ground

I feel like we fought over stupid stuff
And even though times get rough
We are supposed to be tough

Don't you feel like we created a wall?
In between us when we walk down the hall
I believe that it's not right
That we got in a fight

Worst of all we got in a fight over a boy
Who was like a used up toy
Why can't we understand that he broke our hearts
And then, one by one, tore us apart

And now he's buttering me up
Saying that he loves me, but do you think I am tough
Enough to say no
To the little boy who is a ho*

Now let me ask you a question
And maybe people have new suggestions
To what happen to us?

6. Other People

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.

Poem On Heaven And Hell In Our Relationships

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

7. You're Fake
- By Alicia
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2009
This poem is about a girl I used to know, but our friendship ended and I found out that I never really knew her.

How can you call me fake
When that is what you are
How can you say we shouldn't judge
On what we've seen so far

Why do you think that your life
Should have a happy ending
We don't live to make you smile
And we are so not bending

So go and think you bring relief
But relief is but what you take
I just found out I've never known you
And realized that you're completely fake

A friend of mine and I had a huge misunderstanding that seemed to have a cruel life of its own. He is a friend who has grown into family. He was having a terrible day and I was having a "mental moment" all at the same time. The result was "The Perfect Storm." We finally did speak in the afternoon 3 days later and worked it out, but this poem was written in the early morning before our conversation.

Poem About A Misunderstanding Between Friends

I don't know what happened
or why you cannot see
The mistrust you have caused
by how you treated me.

My shock and disbelief
were all I could feel.
All your continued retorts
were unbelievably surreal.

I should have let it go,
and assumed you were somehow pained.
But I took it into my heart
and now we're both emotionally drained.

I finally reached out to you
after two long days had passed.
I found you were receptive
and seemed much more relaxed.

A phone call would solve our problem
I told myself and you.
You said you would call me
and I believed this to be true.

The day passed into night,
the following dawn was spent.
No call did I receive,
no words could we repent.

You promised you would show me
you'd from now on be always true.
But instead by your inaction
our friendship has become unglued.

You claimed to be a brother,
more family than friend.
How easily it was recanted
so it must have been pretend.

9. Not Worth The Fight
- By Vinenessa E. Martinez
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2006
A friendship betrayed is the subject of this poet's poem.

How could you hurt me,
The way that you did?
I'm here for you always,
Isn't that what you had said?
Now that you've lied,
Our friendship is dead.
It is now gone,
Left in the past.
Ours was a friendship
I thought would last.
Why did you lie?
Why'd you pretend
To actually care,
To be my good friend?
It pains me to know
It's come to an end.
Somehow I guess it just wasn't right.
Our friendship's now cold
And dark as the night,
I've come to the fact,
YOU'RE NOT WORTH THE FIGHT.

10. Enough Hurting Those Who Love You
- By Erin
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2011
This poem is about a person that is burning bridges and hurting the ones that love them. I think it can apply to family, friends, and relationships.

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
