Drifters

As close as we once were, it scares me to think of

how far we've come apart.

Many factors have come to play and many tears have shed.

We once trusted each other with all we had.

Yet, now we seem to not even care what the other feels.

You made a new friend, and I felt left behind.

In that instance, I found someone new.

I hurt inside when I think of how we've both had our fights and our run-arounds with others.

Then, when things turned for us, it surprised me incredibly.

You changed, as well as I.

We grew up so much in this past summer.

We've become the drifters.

Those who come to one another when we're in times of need.

However, we part once that time is over and our

scene is played.

Wounds have been dug way too deep and the blood runs cold.

Our heart beats only for ourselves, no longer for each other.

Best friends only last so long, but we thought

we'd last forever.

I know I'd thought that we'd be sisters in life as

well as partners in crime.

We've both had the chance to see the other in agony of sadness.

We've both seen times of difficulty, but we were there.

We talked, we laughed, we settled for flat and dull mind games that others played to us.

We let others come between us and that wedge cannot be

removed easily.

On the other hand, i just want you to know, that despite everything, if you need me, I'll be here.

As for the trust... I don't even know what that is anymore.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Friendship has come easy to me, but only at the beginning. Throughout the relationship, a lot changes and I get that feeling of not being wanted or needed anymore. This poem's about a friendship that has changed from being like sisters, to barely getting the chance to talk to each other anymore.

I have experienced that, and you describe it with great verbal talent.
