We used to be friends.

You were pretty, you were kind.

Now to look at you I’d go blind.

Thought you were loyal, thought you were true.

Now I don’t know what to do.

You showed me your true face,

you became a total disgrace.

You used to be my mate,

now all you seem to be is a cheap date.

I wish someday we will reunite,

Someday we can forget this stupid fight.

Really nice write, with wishful thinking and hope in the two last lines. Sad and hurtful when friends leave, it's like they never were a friend. But when there's friends that do stay, you know they are a friend and hold onto them good.

That's what makes a poem unique ... throwing in a bit of the native slang -- whether it's American, Australian or English. I think everyone can relate to this poem; I know I can. I like the last two lines; makes the poem feel hopeful. Brill mate!

Friends come and go. True ones always come back and make things right.

Hate is a powerful thing, but sometimes it is needed to explain why you need to leave- to stay yourself. You do that without being nasty, like "I hate you 'cuz this this and that" but more of "You used to be kind, and now you're no good at all, so goodbye for now." I like how the ending lines, "I wish someday we will reunite,
someday we can forget this stupid fight." It's so well written, like "someday, maybe we can forget and forgive" I like it :)

Reminds me of my friend before and I. It happens and time just erases it. Though, I do think about these things often. A good poem!

This happens a lot, sadly. I've been in that kind of situations, as were we all, I guess.
Good poem though, well done!
