Losing someone you love is the hardest thing that anyone can go through,
It's so strange to think about them being gone when they were always there for you.
Some people will never understand the love that we have for our pets,
I started school at the fresh age of five, a tantrum ensued when mom left me behind, an eternity passes as the day finally ends, the bus drops me off past my house ‘round the bend, mom was there with a smile to take me back home, and when we got h
That boring, rude, and quiet,
Who never leaves me behind
Telling me, 'it isn't over yet'
When all my hopes have died.
Always there in my sorrow,
Lighten up my day.
Oh no, no, I can't find my pen, I really lost it,
I cried like a baby; I can't believe I lost my best friend
It sees me naked, perfectly imperfect and still loves me
You’re my best friend
And I’ll love you until the end
Even if you forget about me
I’ll never forget all of the memories
We’ve made new friends
You put me in a box
and there is where I stayed
It was cold, dark, and lonely,
but I loved you anyway
Then a light approached me
and I took a peep outside
The air was warm and full of love,
Why
I wonder
As the sun warms my face
A quiet cold day
Where I feel a semblance of grace
Why
I wonder
Did he send me away?
Now it wasn't his fault
I knew that, anyway.
Have you ever seen a color and thought about what it would be like as a person?
I wonder if it's personality is visible and certain.
How yellow sings when it sees the sun,
Have you ever seen a color and thought about what it would be like as a person?
I wonder if it's personality is visible and certain.
How yellow sings when it sees the sun,
I’ll always remember your kind loving heart, hoping fate will never tear us apart.
Looking back all those years, great love and everlasting tears.
Once a friend, always a friend right?
Sike, you thought, now she's complaining about kissing when you're so sick of her missing
Support? Who is she supporting?
Take your caring heart
And mend your own soul.
Look at them, you’ve done your part.
You’ve taken it on as your role,
Mending everyone from the start
Prosthetic
A piece of me,
piece of you.
Blithe memories,
laid in ash.
The lethal dance
of death
illuminates your skin
An aggressive cold--
I see you
your life
comes up on my screen
I see you will
always
choose her
she was there
easier
you never believed in soulmates
until I became yours
You're dead and now it's my turn to make her stronger, to raise her up, to make her wiser.It's my turn to bend what you have broken, to fix the girl that you have demolished. To lead her where she needs to go, to hold her when she cries because ev
Talented, graceful, insightful, and smart
That’s what you are to me
Your choreography was a work of art
Talented, graceful, insightful, and smart
That’s what you are to me
Your choreography was a work of art
Dear Nikki
I recently saw a post on twitter about this woman thanking her best friends for proving how important true friendship was
I was down, my mind sank straight through the Mariana trench.
I was drenced, in self hatred and feelings that made no sense.
I came out of the womb
A mere spark
Ready to learn everything life has to offer
Not sure where to begin
Or how to go about it
But I thank God for my mother
She fueled my fire
I watch the birds fly above me,
Feeling left out and alone.
So when you choose to fly around me,
I suddenly feel I belong.
You float by gently capturing my attention,
Beautiful as my favorite song,
She is a cycle she doesn't understand.
A whirlwind that sweeps you away without asking, a vacuum you never want to be free from.
She engulfs you in her light when she's laughing, yet she's blind to her own brilliance.
Every time I try to write
How much you mean to me,
It comes out feeling cheesy
So artifical, crazy.
You are my best friend, it's true
I love you more than life.
You can turn my day around,
10 feet
The distance from my desk to yours
I don’t know that for sure
But it’s a close enough guess
You and the other girls used to chase the boys at recess
But you say
That you only did it for Joseph
The conduit for my imagination
To flourish
The gatekeeper for my thoughts
And ideas
Poetry
The things it done for me.

Here’s a letter written to my best friend,
With all of the reasons that I hate you.
You annoy and pester me to no end.You show up to my house out of the blue.
Dear firefly,
It's been too long since I've seen you
It's been too long since I've felt your touch
the brush of your hand on mine
the soft reassurance of your fingers skimming the skin on my face
Dear Kelcee,
It’s okay that we drifted apart,
That’s just how things go sometimes,
Just know you’ll always have a home in my heart.
It’s okay that your life came crashing down,
Dear Katherine,
My friend. My love. My life.
It’s was a new year.
I was starting over.
Not sure who to trust.
Not sure where to go.
Then I saw you.
Recognized your face.
You lasted only 21 years on this 4.5 billion-year-old rock we call Earth.
On a universal scale, each second in Earth's time represents 440 years.
Dear Ex Best Friend,
I stand upon the shore of roaring sea
Attempting to see all that I have lost.
I dream what might have been and still might be.
to my best friend,
call it whatever you want
whatever this was
it was us
two stubborn teens stuck
in this cycle
going back and forth
Oh, my friend, how much we’ve endured
Moments of communion
When reality has been suspended far above our heads
Solace in a single glance
Stability in a counter balance
The honest voice
Dear Mo,
If only I didn’t have to write this letter
Or say these words
Life would look a lot sweeter
It would taste like the ripest mango we’ve ever shared
Yet here I am
Here we are
Dear Justin,
Only Fifteen
Still Learning How to Live
You taught me how to stay strong.
You gave me laughter and smiles.
During a time I only had sadness and grief.
You had me and I had you.
To whom it concerns…
Thank you.
Thank you for being there when no one else was.
Thank you for being my light in a room of darkness.
Thank you for giving me hope things do get better.
She is a crazy sun. She's weird, talkative, and has a bright personality. Never a dull moment with her. But she can make me feel old, this friend.
Sweet Baby Blue, you're a beautiful soul. They underestimate you. They push you to your limits. They tell you what path you should take in life. They tell you to chase what they believe is sure to be a better outcome than to follow your heart.
Dear Former Best Friend,
I can’t believe how long it’s been since we last talked.
Dear, Jep
Can I be your shoes,
And walk between your shadows and above the grass?
Can I be your backpack,
And carry me off the train and up the hills?
Approximately, there’s a 1 chance in 10^390 (it’s in scientific notation, and it happens to be quite the number, biggest number here actually.) of life on earth, it is so near to impossible that it would never happen in the 13 billion years or so
I knew it when I first saw you,
Though we were much younger then,
That you were special, you were meant to find me,
That I loved you.
The beginning was not easy,
We were young and irresponsible,
Because I love you,
text me when you get home.
Because I love you,
go out with your friends and have a good time.
Because I love you,
have your freedom but I will be here for you.
Because I love you…
I will bring you food at 3 in the morning.
Listen to you ramble about last night.
Remember the stories of of all the fake love you were hoarding,
From men who could never treat you right.
I’m writing this poem about you
Because I love you
But everything you do for me
Is because you love me
Thank you for being my friend
Thank you for being there for me
Thank you for being kind
Today I fucked on a letter you wrote
to me a long time ago
What it means?
I dont know.
But you wrote about
Our garden.
You do not have the right to leave me.
Do not use my birthday as a stake for when it’ll be over.
Don’t you fucking do that.
It’s not fair.
We have plans.
I don’t want to talk about you in the past tense.
Picture a lunch table full of melancholy twelve year olds.
She was one of them.
She smiled and joked with friends at school,
wearing stained and torn clothing,
but eating a hot lunch all the same.
Belittling Bestie Who’s Really A Beast
You make me so MAD!
You take my advice for granted.
You don’t see how much I care about you.
The essence of love
has a funny aroma to it.
It sticks to the air in which it is breathed out
and it is sucked back in the lungs.
The essence of love
has a gripping smell.
To my best friend,
You are quite possibly one of the most influential people in my life.
We chose each other to call family.
Since then, we've been there for each other.
The days can be long The afternoons, longer I can forget who I am sometimes And at times, the doubts can get stronger But your name on my screen And your voice on the phone Are enough to reel me back in This, I'll always know You remind me I'm s
you build with your words , you make sky scrapers from your sentences and cathedrals with stanzas ,
She is always there for me when I need her the most,
She always gives me what I need, and to her I toast.
What you did to me, ya she already knows,
So be prepared for the show.
If you break my heart,
I will not be shocked
I’m waiting
Not wanting,
It’s called preparation
It’s haunting,
And to think that all along you were worth the wait
The tears, the longing, the lonely summer days
And every regret disappears with the shadows
When the sunshine finally rolls around.
What do you do
When you believed in something for so long
And it crashed and burned
But days bring it back to you
In different form?
How can you embrace again
What you loved
Sometimes the brightest star
The one carrying the most promise
And the object of your love and hope

There is one more thing to put in our jar.
I laugh at all of the jokes I unfold.
We've come a long way to get where we are.
I know you will be there as I grow old.

had spoken about it before, my voice burning with love
What went wrong?
I had you at my side when we started out
I had you and held you and called you "best friend"
But please tell me
What went wrong?
I loved a girl and she wasn't you
judah
The problem was never
that i didn’t love you
enough
the problem was that i
i have always
loved you too fiercely
You changed my world
The dark tunnel has gotten shorter, there's a light and I feel a bit warmer,
The rain has slowed down, the clouds have dispersed, I feel the storm has reversed
You changed my world
The dark tunnel has gotten shorter, there's a light and I feel a bit warmer,

Life can be overwhelming.
(No, let me restate that)
Life can be Condescendingly,
Overbearing with its Unrelenting,
little wet nose on my palms,
toenail clicks on the floor,
little snores from the blankets,
that's what makes me feel good.
slobber lips placed on my leg,
chewed up toy in my room,
I fell in a dream.
As he sat right beside me.
Laughing and smiling,
thinking of rhymes in his head.
He visions our group
walking up the stage
She’s there for me through thick and thin,
No matter the state of mind I’m in.
When I’m down, she’s right with me.
I’m the lock, and she’s the key.
I’ve never had anyone like her.
With Her,
Faces, names, places,
All the world spins past,
On a colorful carousel
Within grasp,
But She is next to me
I don't care for anyone else
She's here
They're not.
The pure delight I am greeted with every time I come home
The warm snuggles I am treated to every night
The soft snores I hear just as we fall asleep together
I’ve had a long day.
I’m coming home.
I kick off my shoes,
Moaning and groaning.
Then I see you.
My face lights up.
You run towards me.
You jump on me.
You lick my face.
there is no greater feeling
than to have you in my life
my shining star
my thoughtful moon
you are the reason why i am 16
you are the reason why i have survived
you are the reason i wake up each day
This is not a love poem
Now don’t get me wrong
I’m not saying there isn’t love
-because there is-
This love just isn’t as easy
Poetry is an art
It is not seen, it is felt
Words flow like water from my pen
It helps express emotion from my heart
Worn around my waist, a black belt
A Different kind of adrenaline
the best friend i never asked for
listening to my problems all day,
and knowing exactly what to say.
no matter how i'm feeling
you will alwys be there for me
no questions asked
This poem was written by my best friend, Deland Wheeler. He passed away in a motorcycle accident one month ago, and his mother made me promise that I publish his poetry, so that people will see Deland's inner light. Enjoy!
He tried.
He really did try to make me his everything.
And then you got in the way.
Funny, ironic even.
You told him to love me
Then you ruin it the first chance you get.
Bipolar much?
another year
another fear
fear of being lost
and not succeeding
another year will take us to
places, new and
I remember when I first talked to him. He was awkward, he was polite, he was grammatically correct. I didn’t think we’d have that click. He’s the one I go to when I feel alone, when everything is caving in and making it hard for me to breathe.
Without her I’d have nobody to murmur jokes to
At the grocery store
While confused shoppers wonder why we’re giggling
She’s my best friend,
The one who I will always defend.
And although she’s been around awhile,
Nobody’s got a better smile.
A life of hardship and struggle,
We have a special bond that no one will ever take away
I cannot see my life without him
The day he came to my life was the most joyful day of my life
Through hard work we have become successful
We inspire each other
All I need's a friend,
Someone to talk to at days end.
If the day was long and tiring,
Being with her can leave me smiling .
The island can be dry or cold,
But with her the time will never grow old.
Cool waves crest and break against the bleached shore
The sun, a glowing orb, reflects daggers into my eyes
10 days have passed
Since the crash
6 days have passed
Since the food ran out
Sister you are me
You are all of me
You are a part of me
Without you I am not me
Without you these things wouldn't be:
Coffee dates on rainy days
Embarrasing videos we post for all to see
one human is all i need:
one that will wipe away my tears,
one with unconditional love to give,
one selfless human.
one is all it takes to change the world:
one is all it took to fix me,
As I walk through life with her by my side,She sees me for what I am. There is no other person I'd rather be with,And we leave each other all too soon. College. It's coming, chasing us out of our last few monthsof high school.
If deserted, who would I be
Without the one beside me?
Who raised me as I am,
Taught me the difference between jelly and jam.
Who let me bounce on his head,
And tucked me tightly to bed.
She kept a roof over my head
And made sure I stayed fed
If it wasn't for her I wouldn't be here
My heart is where I hold her near
She gave me everything, her love, time, and advice.
Dear child, why do you hurt all the time?
Don't you see that your life brings joy to mine?
Dear friend, won't you please smile at me?
Seeing your dimples is all that I need.
We could have been sisters
In another life, we should have been
After all, you are my mirror.
You know me better than anyone
And always know what to say
After all, you are my mirror.
What can’t I live without?
I think through the list,
of things I use everyday.
My car, my phone,
journals, pencils, others.
I never thought that I would have a friend like you
You make me feel complete
I’m surprised we get along
Because we are so different
We pick each other up
How Could You?
How could you know?
We were only kids.
We were only best friends.
How could you know?
The signs of depression.
All I need is Sydney
There is rhyme and reason why
Stranded on an island
without her I may die
she keeps me sane and stable;
She is my best friend can't you tell
It was 8th grade when I first met you.
I was alone.
Cuts on your arms and demons in my head.
Our worlds collided
And somehow, us two, who were destined to self-destruct, were saved.
Emily,
My personal angel
Always there for me
With just what I need
Always able to put a smile on my face
Can make me smile when all I want to do is cry
Can turn my frown upside down,
When you don’t understand the thoughts in your brain, its the scariest thing in the world.
Nothing around you makes sense.
You don’t feel like yourself, and no one can help.
The monster took over his mind.
Leaving him with nothing but the thought of drugs.
Everyday I lose more and more sight of him.
Standing here by myself with no way to help.
The monster became more important than me.
My best friends gone
My transparent key
The petals fall
Black dresses and shoes
Exstinece's narrow halls
No matter what I lose
Dear tall tree ,how good you been to me.
Over the years you shielded me for my fears,
Taught me how to drive , even how to survive
You been more nurturing to me than my own family tree
Side-by-side
dressed alike
double takes
"Are you two twins?"
My little shadow
almost as old as I am
you look up to me
but you have no idea how much
I look up to you.
Hey, best friend, it's time to wake,
for we have a big, fun day.
We'll have a breakfast too big for two,
and recall memories about me and you.
We'll brush our teeth, minty fresh,
Anna
“You can’t have sex wearing a wig” she said
That line could’ve made me laugh
If she wasn’t clutching the sides of her head
Wondering what choice did she have.
When you came I thought I was fine
I was hidden inside, surrounded by name and faces
I said hello welcome now, these are those I love
You just smile and came along for the ride that I made
Every road i went down with you
I turned down the wrong street
And every path we crossed together
I thought was harming myself
For you
You're the friend I always wanted
You're the sister I never had
You may not think your your perfect but to me your just that
I may of taught you love and kindnes
Blistered ego, aching self,scared girl in lion's mane.Teeth bared, upturnedto keep sanity. I don't wantto inconvenience, I
Books are my real best friends.
I know exactly what they are thinking.
I know all the chapters of their lives.
Their characters become my family and
They keep telling me it'll turn out okay
I try to believe 'em every time they say,
"I know it's been hard but it'll get better"
They want me to move on but all I do is remember
Best Friend
I’ve known you for so long, oh my dear one
You’ve made me laugh and cry over the years
The times we’ve been apart and its not done
For we have gone through many laughs and tears
Best Friend
I’ve known you for so long, oh my dear one
You’ve made me laugh and cry over the years
The times we’ve been apart and its not done
For we have gone through many laughs and tears
I look at you
Honest brown eyes
Asking me a question
without words.
You smile
and we laugh
but yet you seem sad.
I take your hand, trying to grasp the reason
If I could ask a simple favor,
from memories I simply savor,
I would change my history,
This is what it's like?
Having friends I mean.
Having people love you,
Having them care.
This is what friends get me?
Memories full of smiles
to overshadow those of sorrow?
When I first met you
I was determined to be your friend
Everyday I'd come over
Just to see you again.
I'd do the sneakiest shit
To see if you would smile
It's the most fun I've had
A year ago, my best friend became my love.
God changed my life forever, for blessing me with him.
He makes me happier than ever and I love him so much.
I do not know what I would do without my best friend, my love.
Everything to you is a contest of snobbery
Cunning and soul-less is how you wish we would be
You drive us apart by dangling the carrot in front of our faces
Ignorant is the student who actually chases
When I'm lonely, you're there to keep me company.
When I'm broken, you're there to fix me.
When I'm lost, you're there to find me.
It may not seem like much, but it means the world to me.
What was once cherished is now just a memory
A constant imitation stapled in her mind
Robbing her of her happiness like a burglary
Breaking her soul down every time
Every day seemed to become harder
It is stagnant.The dark intimidates me.My subconscious is cruel.There is a suspension of time that I am profoundly aware of.He's here! He speaks to me. The words are incoherent and stumble though my mind.
We grew up together
In the suburbs of a small town
Where we noticed the weather
Didn't change when the sun went down
It stayed hot forever
But we found ways around
Like the black crows feather
Even from the start,
things were different.
You understood and listened.
Like a pipe line in a tornado -
you stayed while
everyone else left.
Prickers and needles
came out as closed wounds
When I see birches bend to left and right
Across the lines of straighter darker trees,
I like to think some boy's been swinging them.
But swinging doesn't bend them down to stay
Behind those eyes dark and deep
I see a shadow there that sleeps,
and through it all I’d hear you call
your voice’d be there
as if you care!
Bah, to think you feel anything…
I was in complete and utter shock when I heard that you had killed yourself
I wish I knew why you did it
I went to your memorial a couple of weeks ago, and you thought a lot of times that you weren't
With a force greater than gravity
I'd fight for you,
Because this life won't mean a thing
if you're not sheltered beneath my wing,
With a depth deeper than the darkest abyss
I can relate to you,
Do you want to know how I feel? There are butterflies swarming around my stomach at all times of my existence. My bones shake and my heart rate goes through the roof.
Come
My love
My sweet dove
I miss you so
I look for you above
And yet they tell me to say no
They say to say no to the love that grows
When you left me, left for good I said I was done
Drama queen
You cause a scene
Just shut up!
No one cares about your shoes
Or who’s your boo
Being ridiculous
Is what you do best.
Stop talking please
Do it for me
It's hard to live in a world full of hate,
but there's always people out there you need.
Don't try to deter that of your fate,
great friends will come by but they aren't for greed.
The day she is not with me
is the day that I die
following her always,
with no frown or no sigh.
My life would not be complete
without my very best friend
I know she'll always be here,
BFFL’s For Life?
I had to find new friends,
Coming to a new place.
The ones that would truly love me,
And never leave me,
This became my new race.
I love you
Not the sweet kind and innocent you
But the ugly you
The unveiling, unedited, and inappropriate
The one that makes me cry- the real you
In your voice there’s bass breaking my hearts barriers
