My Best Friend Poem by Chelsea Baird

16 years you have just turned
16 years in which you've learned
From the people you've loved most
Through passed mistakes
And rotten blokes
So how come
I ask you this
It is not me that you miss
You were the best friend who I thought
Would help me dry my tears
Would help me stand up to my greatest fears
I stood beside you when times were bad
I never ran when you were mad
I did the best I could do
I did everything i thought I should
So how come now you leave me here
You leave me without a single tear
You leave without a word of passing
You the girl I thought I knew
Left me here for someone new
The girl
The b*tch
The rotten wh*re
The one who called me best friend small
But how I see that times have changed
How I see that you are now ashamed
Of who you are and what you do
You never eat
And you are no longer unique
So this is where we part
This is where the story ends
