Dear Best Friend,

How have you been?

I hope you're doing fine.

Haven't heard from you since.

I've been going down

That ol' memory lane.

Thinking about how

All of it began.

No. Neither to our friendship,

Nor to our spot-tree.

But to the knife,

That you used to stab me.

Pushing me down

Was your dire necessity.

To cover your own flaws,

Draw curtains over insecurity.

You mocked at my condition,

My diligence, my tireless run.

Spread your venom of lies

Filled the ears of my loved ones.

Naïve as I was,

I befriended you in every phase.

Unaware of the dark vile,

That hid behind your white face.

While I pulled you out of

The vicious death well,

You pushed me down the same.

Reciprocated so well!

You feigned guilty face,

Every time you were in need.

But band aids don't fix bullet holes

Here's a rant of your deed.

RAP verse

You talk that talk behind my back

I dare you now, look into my eyes

Now speak again, lemme hear you splash

Can't speak a word? Ran out of lies?

Or is it your dumb inferiority

Matching up to your insecurity

Imma let you speak, but you're empty

Better yet than your fake charity

Now listen up d****e, hold yourself back

Get your issues towed up in a line

Did you lose the count? Couldn't even start?

My dear best friend now pay the fine.

So here's to burst your bubbles

You pulled the rug out beneath my feet

Thinking that I might fall.

Let me tell you, though unsuspecting,

I jumped before your call.

So goodbye.

Fare well.

Wish you all the luck.

And to your future victims too.

Regards!

Your non-victimized best friend

Author's Note

First of all a BIG SHOUTOUT to Taylor Swift whose chart topping song Bad Blood helped me in my tough times. I hope you all like my way of reciprocating to my "best friend's" actions and relate to it.

Is it bad that when the rap verse came up Eminem's voice read it in my head? The rest of it sounded a lot like Taylor Swift. I like this, and her song is awesome.
I can relate, there are a lot of false "friends" out there, I've had a few.
The title made me think this would some sappy, sweet thing about a perfect friendship.
I like how it turned out way better.
Nice write! Well done!

It's perfect that it did. I had Eminem's voice in my head when I wrote the RAP verse and obviously because the main framework of the poem was laid on that day in March when I heard Bad Blood 30 times, non stop, because I had found out about my "best friend".

I wanted it to be that way. You know when you are with your best friend, you are happy, it's sweet. But all of a sudden their dark side is revealed and you lose the grip.

I'm glad you could relate. Thank you so much for reading and reflecting. :)

[Bluefire]

No problem, I'm glad I turned out how you intended. I wish Eminem and Taylor Swift would do a duet, that would be awesome!

[Shivam Murari]

Yes that surely would be awesome. Till then, lets just enjoy fan made collabs. :)

[Just Kim]

WOW!! This is so very good. I enjoyed reading your write.

[Leslie Philibert]

This is modern and cool, but never superficial, a nice mix of styles. Well done !

[TL Boehm]

an eclectic mix of a poetic letter to a friend, spiced with angst and set off with a little rap break. This would be interesting read aloud. Well done.

[Dayran]

With friends like that you won't need enemies. A nice response ... when responses are composed.

[Coyote Poetry]

Very nice poetry. Artwork and set-up. A entertaining ride in the poetry. You had a bit of everything in the words. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.
