Goodbye Friend Poem

This is to one of my friends. I don't know if she is still there or not because she changed in such a hard way that I feel replaced and not the best again. To all the people who have had a best friend who has exchanged you for another.

Goodbye

A thousand times you said you care
A million times you tell you'll be there
A hundred times you said you loved me
But a billion times you left me nowhere

I trusted in you with my eyes closed
Being with you was dancing in the sky
Sharing with you was laughing all the time
Keeping you close was happiness in my heart
But without you I'm nowhere

I don't know if you really deeply care
Now I just see fake smiles, broken hearts
I lost your hand in the middle of my way
I can't find the way out in this dark, empty space

I've lost almost the best people I've had
Continue with you is just being disappointed once again
Like the old times when I was just a ghost for you
The way I always felt, hiding by your invisibility cloak

I just wish I won't exist
So you can continue your life without thinking of me
I just wish I could disappear
And no more problems with me

Hating to leave you
You were absolutely the best
But other people deserve you more
And you actually love her more

So goodbye, it was my pleasure
You were a good friend this time
But as life comes on people always
Run out of your lives, goodbye

I relate to this poem in a very personal way. I love my best guy friend and he knows and I think he loves me too, but lately it hasn't been the same. I'm going to a different high school that isn't too far away, but he still doesn't seem to care. I think this is the end and I will have to say goodbye. It hurts me to think that this person I trust and love so much would do this, but our paths have diverged. We cannot continue down the same path together anymore.

I once had a person like this. He was there for me even when I called him off but one day I was told to choose my family or him. So I choose my family and he went his way and today I see him happy and everything but it's just me I was left unhappy. And hopefully one of these days he will come back to me cause I still have that little piece in my heart for him.

I had a friend like this, I shared everything with him, he was like my big brother. He helped me through depression, getting my heart broken and family issues. Out of all of my friends I knew that he was never going to leave me, I just had this strong feeling that he was going to be in my life forever. one day I don't know what happened, he just stopped talking to me. it hurts me so much, I don't even know why he stopped talking to me and now I think about it every day.

I also feel the same way with my bestfriend..she is too far from me now but yet she promised that nothing could ever change the amount of appreciation she has for me..but in the middle of nowhere, I felt replaced. I don't know really but that's what I feel. she is not texting me nor calling me and she's not finding ways to get in touch with me. so now? I don't think so that it's still right to continue this friendship..but though I try, I still can't find the words to say goodbye.

This poem is similar to the way I feel about my best friend, he meant the world to me, but unfortunately about 5 months ago, he got really close to my other friend and started forgetting about me, we hardly talk to each other anymore, its very sad, but he seems much happier with her, and also he has lots of pictures of her on his phone, and he got rid of all my pictures, but he doesn't like it when I say things about my other friend, he only likes it when I say things about him, in a nice way, its very upsetting as I'm the one who looked after him, made him smile and trusted him, when I never got it back :(
