The So Called 'Friend'

watch out! there are people who pretend to hug you but instead stab you.

I was never into all you do

But once I stepped in I couldn’t go

 

Yours smiles, your words and fake etiquette

Cast a spell on me which I refused to hate

 

I made you my friend without realization

That there was no match for our mental synchronization

 

Gradually I felt there was something surely wrong

You had been using me for your purpose for so long

 

You never really cared about any of my deeds

Unless I was there to cater your needs

 

But I can’t bear this now I’m way too sore

Though you’ve made me a fool you won’t anymore

Author's Note

Sometimes there are people who just fake around and pretend to be your friend. But they forget that you exist when you need help.

This is so filled with the pain caused by those who are too shallow to really love, to be a true friend that stays close no matter what. And though you write of the sorrow, you write of the strength as well, to move on with your life and not be pulled back anymore. Powerful.

Yesss...Thank you :)

[Tina Marie]

I love it. Look at your grammar. You missed a couple of commas, and 'I couldn't let go' sounds better.

[Jess]

Yes, I'll keep that in mind.
thank you :)

Nice Poem! If the person was your friend regardless of how they feel about you, you don't live the way they want you to live. You live life to the fullest and love yourself. Take Care.

Love Kaye

Good job, I liked it! Been in that same situation myself.

The poem flowed well, and the rhyming feels natural and unforced.

Friendships sour. Sounds like what is called now a 'frenemy' . Like the Rhyming couplet structure.

[Jess]

hahaha. yea
thanks

I know it. I'll tell you one thing. If you confront a person, and they don't get angry at you back, now that is a true friend.

A friend accepts everything about a person.

I rather liked this too :)

[Jess]

yea
:) Thanks a lot

[Gee]

So true.You'll meet more of these than true friend's as you make your way through life.Really well done

[Jess]

Yea..I better watch out. Hahaha
Thank you

raw yet written with eloquent beauty & honesty, not to mention very relatable
good for you for setting down your own boundaries. there are those
that seek other's for their "friend's" only for their own selfish egos...I too
have been there one to many times, like most in reality, in my younger
years...it's a lesson learned for sure!

love the unique imagery & meter you incorporated into this ink.
Thank you for sharing (:
