A friend can be your greatest foe
I'll pretend that I didn't know
But does that change the fact
That a friend's hurtful act
Can leave a lasting scar?
Apologies were given and taken
But the friendship didn't reawaken
The wounds were still gaping wide
How much ever we hid and cried
We tried to forgive and forget
Didn't allow ourselves to be upset
And yet, the bleeding cuts didn't close
Caused by the thorns of a wilted rose
We pretended nothing happened
As if one another we hadn't abandoned
We put on a huge fake smile
But we still held the pain
Now we avoid each other
We no longer bicker
We don't enjoy each other's company
When we meet we aren't happy
The wounds will heal over time
Higher in our life, we will climb
But the bond will fade
And we'll move on to a better glade

The end of a deep friendship is one of the most painful things you can go through. Whether it happens slowly or it ends abruptly in a single moment. I had to cut my former best friend out of my life after the friendship got toxic. We'd been friends for many years and I loved and cared about her a lot, but I could no longer ignore the wounds she had inflicted on me, and it was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. This poem is about the lost bond and about our dynamics after the last argument, after the point of no return. What once was a fresh bloom withered to grey dust. But it was all for the better, as this experience led me to to write my very first poem, the one you just read.
