Hey guys, I recently posted about what to do about a bad friend, and after taking an objective look I realized that she was bad news, manipulative, and abusive. This was really hard for me to accept because we've been friends for so long, so I wrote a couple poems that helped me deal and I wanted to share them. I'm a little rusty at writing poetry as I haven't done it in about five or six years- maybe more. Let me know what you think:

I sit alone and leak a tear
The hole you leave is always near.
A sister, you were, and always there
But in the end, did you truly care?

Remember when you soothed my fears?
Held me close, and wiped my tears?
Was it all a façade, a means to an end?
Or did you truly think I was your friend?

I weep now, drifting further into the blue,
Impossible to see what's right and true.
So many times you held my hand
While I stayed oblivious to what you planned.

You twisted me ‘round ‘til I did what you said,
You were fully aware that my spirit was dead.
But now I can see what is left of your heart,
And I understand now that manipulation’s your art.

If what we had ever was real
Hurting me would have no appeal.
You feast on my misery, devour my pain.
You love it when my head’s full of rain.

No longer will I dance to your song,
Be convinced that I’m evil, crazy, or wrong.
My life belongs now only to me,
The chains are broken and I am completely free.


The other one I wrote is a little different, but same theme:

As close as a sister
We shared every whisper
But hiding inside
A demonic trickster

Pretending emotion
As deep as an ocean
Silently laughing
Your plan is in motion

Whispering lies
With glittering eyes
Erasing all will
My good judgment dies

Blinding my sight
While feeding me fright
Holding me down
To extinguish my light

Always degrading
Always invading
Chipping away
My self esteem fading

Until I do
What you want me to
Raging inside
Enslaved only to you

Though eventually
I become free
These scars I will carry
Eternally
