"Best Friend"

When her and I were young, we even talked about how we might have been sisters separated at birth. I haven't heard from her in years. What used to be my best friend is now not much more than a memory.

Where has my ‘best friend’ gone,
Where oh where is she,
I’ve dialed, hung up and called again,
Not once did she answer me,
What’s happened to my ‘best friend’,
Why did she stop replying,
Does she still care, care at all,
Or has she just been lying,
Why did my ‘best friend’ get so distant,
Am I someone second class,
I used to be right by her side,
Now in the pack, I’m last,
Is she still my ‘best friend’,
Or is she fading away,
Am I just a phase she had,
Or am I there to stay,
My ‘best friend’ is acting strange,
So different than before,
We used to be like sisters,
But no, not anymore,
My ‘best friend’ is tearing me up,
I’m just so damn confused,
Do I think this? Do I think that?
I feel so sad, unused,
My ‘best friend’, my BFF,
My un-biological sister, my clone,
She’s decided he’s all she needs,
She’s left me here alone

I really like the sincere feel to your poems, it's not made out to be something else. well done. :)

This reminds me of high school drama between friends. It was well written and easy to understand. Seems like it would be put into a teen poetry book. Nice write.

You can sense the anger and longing in this. Nobody's life all goes to planned.
