The Loss

to the one that was and will always be my best friend....

It hurts like hell

To see you go

Things have not been the same

And never will again

 

You were my best friend, my confidant

Someone I could tell my all to

But somewhere along the way

Things changed, got in the way

 

Now you are gone

Leaving me with a big hole

In my heart, where you used to be

The hurt, the loss…is all I feel

 

I’m sure you feel the same

But it was for the best

For all who were involved

It still doesn’t make it feel any better

How are we going to get over this?

 

Hopefully one day

We will be over this impasse

And we will be the friends

That we once were

 

Just remember,

I will always love you

Be there if you want for me to

You will always be my best friend

 

But for now

We will deal with

The loss….

Yes, I agree with you...Disagreements always happen with friends but it finally results in building up that relationship even better...Yet I would say that only small disagreements are appreciable because sometimes disagreements leads to fight which can break up even a healthy relationship. The plot is really nice and that idea has been explained brilliantly with your words, Great work!

Oh yes. Its tough when u have to end a friendship. Especially when its a disagreement. I can understand your pain on this one :( great piece though

i felt just like this when i lost my friends! i still grieve over it. it did involve people also. i think they miss me like i miss them. i feel like something was taken away from me. my chest is empty. during recess, i would look at them from a distance and it would hurt. i feel so much pain and agony. i blame myself and i just want to die. im alone.... but one day, i hope everything works out. thanks so much for entering this piece in my contest.. i dont feel alone... :)

that's true sometimes things do get in the way and insteed of running away it needs to be dealt with.Sometimes as well its hard to do depending on what happened.If you real true friends i believe it will always be till the end no matter what it just takes time.I had a best friend from high school and we was friends for 20 years something happened we tried to deal with things and there was no way of fixing it what she did hurt to deeply but i tried to fix it any ways.friends are friends forever if its true.you lucky to have a handful of friends in life.You did a great job on this.thank you for sharing it with me.

amanda, this is moving and really cuts straight to the heart, wow painful!
the emotions are laced with memories as well as love and caring,
missing the one close to the heart, heartbreakingly beautiful, the form
and flow is classic as well as intently special the way your words
are a reflecting bond. lovely, powerful and sentimental. excellent job.

Tis true that things can change...misunderstandings take root etc etc. Well put expression of regret for the way things have turned out, but with hope for the future with the door to friendship left open IF a new relationship can emerge.

I almost feel like this was written by me in my sleep or subconscious. Very powerful, and the end shows your maturity level, and learning to deal what life hands you.

I hear this all too often and many fall victim to this type of loss, there is a light at the end of this particular tunnel that drags you into heartbreak alley, but there is always a way to deal with emotional trauma and we all have it at one time or another. I was told that time heals all wounds...well that's a new train of thought...NOT!!! In fact time has a way of wounding what has healed. You will live through this just like we all have...nicely expressed Amanda.
