A poetry book of my journey of friendship, love, loss, personal growth, confusion, betrayal, resentment, hate, hope, light, and eventual healing.
This book is a work in progress. I will be updating it until I deem it finished for the sake of constructive criticism and my changing state of mind until it's done.
Every part is going to have multiple poems with a specific theme in mind.
This will be a very personal project with essentially every emotion you can think of.
Many of these poems are how I felt during, and after dealing with an emotionally unavailable and manipulative person, and I loved them too much to see it. She wasn't always like this. In fact, our friendship was very healthy and vibrant and alive. There was a time when I would do anything for her. She changed and no longer could have me in her heart. This isn't to slander her. It's meant to express myself and give my perspective. Respect and trust are earned, and I was burned too many times by someone who I thought I could lean on like I had for many years before our friendship deteriorated.
Not every poem, however, is connected to her. Much of it is for me.
She was my best friend. I will always love and care about her, and nothing will change that. But now it's from a distance. At least until she changes, which may or may not happen.
My goal with this book was to write as many different styles of poems as possible but not strictly adhere to their rules.
I cherish the happy memories I have with her, but I didn't get decency consistently towards the end, and the friendship crumbled. But now I'm very optimistic for a brighter future.
My advice to anyone who reads this and my poems is to do good for yourself first. No matter how much you love and trust someone, you never know how things will change.
Feel free to share my story of how I cane to be where I am.
(Part 1 is bugged for some reason and I cannot edit it or else my app will crash. That's why it looks weird)
Please enjoy❤
