I Never Knew You Poem by Benoni Chortle

You told me the other day asking what’s wrong, what happened

Thinking to myself, I would ask the same question

To my dismay I was quite saddened

How you don’t even notice my state of depression


You keep going on about this back and forth

Seems like I’m the only one trying to make it right

Trying to fix this friendship for what it’s worth

I’m left alone, alone in the fight

Encountering the thought that maybe it would be better if I never knew you



Sure, there are memories we share

Sure, we had a few laughs here and there

But sometimes I think you don’t even care

Is it a real friendship or just another snare?

Sometimes I wish I never knew you


I don’t know you anymore

You walk by as if I’m not there

All those things you swore

Seems like you really don’t care

I never knew you


Meeting you was one of the best moments of my life

Oh so I thought

Not knowing that I would just go through all this strife

But at least I learned some things, a valuable lesson taught

That it would be better if I never knew you


You’re just another lesson learned

A dream that I should’ve burned

I knew it was too good to be true

Oh how I wish I never knew you


But yet, deep inside of me I know this can’t be true

A friend you were, a friend you are

All the times and memories, like watching a beautiful sunset view

You are the only person I completely opened up to by far


No, no these words cannot come from my mouth

Wishing I never knew you is like wishing a part of me is being torn

For you, I would run as far as the north is from the south

Even dive in a sea full of pain and thorns

What a nightmare if I never knew you


I guess I won’t give up on you

I wouldn’t trade your friendship for anything

All the happiness, fun, and joy that you bring

I’m just happy to say, I’m glad I knew you
