sonic gang

fake friends, real memories

bright lights, hazy dreams

loud laughs, silent fights

cold shoulders, no goodbyes

Few people befriend us forever dear Evelynn. The twisted tale of friendship. I hope you are doing well, be careful and stay safe. Thank you for sharing your amazing poetry and your thoughts.

Very short and very relatable. It's those intense friendships that fade away so soon. Excellent focus.

I understand completely. Big hugs to you

Sadly dear Evelynn, not everyone is sincere with their intentions. It hurts but you move on. There are plenty of people who value friendship. Hope you are keeping safe and well.

Fake friend are the worst. The lying and the betrayal.

[Pink Pastel]

This is so very true I feel you love this poem short and loud.

A lesson I learned is you quickly figure out who are friends and acquaintances. Love the title.

A true friend is almost as rare as a true love they are a thing to be cherished dear Evelynn your lines scrawl a poignant message and feeling

[jacob erin-cilberto]

we can be coerced easily enough by what seems real but isn't...and that which might have been suspect might turn out to produce "no goodbyes"---
I like this because it appears as two poems, side by side...like two friends side by side...
one finally seeing the other for who that person really is.

This struck hard. I have been through this many times, and the "no goodbyes" is a line I am well familiar with.
Friendship seems meanlingless nowdays, a term that is used lightly or has just become a number on social media.
I think you captured this very well. Despite being written with short simple lines, it is all that is needed. The emotions behind the words, the feeling of loss, sorrow, bitterness and perhaps even regret are all there. There is also a sense of wistful nostalgia. It certainly strikes a chord.

So true.

It's tough to get a genuine one!
