Best Friends Poem by Mahoghany M

Best Friends



My Friend
I think about you
Every day
Every hour
Every minute
Every second
You are on my mind
My heart
And my tongue
And I despise it

You were the Sword
And I was Damocles
You reminded me
That even though
I was out of my cage
I was on your leash
A puppet to do your bidding

Until you got bored
And threw me away
And like a broken toy

You tried to crush my spirit
And make my heart freeze
And all your efforts
Though valiant as they were
Were to some avail

You indeed crushed me
Leaving me to deal with my own thoughts
And they are just as vile and cold blooded
As your heart and tongue
If not worse





I tore myselfto shreds
Like a starving lion does a dead gazelle
Looking for answers to questions I couldn't
Get from others
My swift heartbreak
Though goreless
Was fatal

And still
As a fool
I wanted nothing more
Than to hear your laugh
See your smile
And bathe in your dark happiness

So often misunderstood
I thought you understood me
My personality

I know this poem is long
And you are busy
I want to tell you
You chipped at me
But I broke myself
For you

And no matter how Life
Leads us
You will forever be my Best Friend

Now I know I'm not YOUR Best Friend
Nor do I want to be

You were there for me when no one was in my corner
My heart was broken
And you held my hand
You wiped my tears
You helped me shake the dust from my feet
And start anew


You showed me a side of myself that I was blind to
I admire you
I aspire to be like you
I respect you
And I still give you my heart
Because I have nothing left to give

Laying on my cot
I made a decision
I choose you
I want to grow old with you
In my life
As my friend
I accept you as you are
And I WILL NOT allow you to leave my life
Nor will I chase you down
But know

You will always be in myheart
You are a remarkable person
And I REFUSE to give up
On our friendship
You can't walk away from me
Because I won't let you
You've made me stronger
