Towel in the Closet

how we lose good friendships/relationships

We used to be so close
You'd hang with me more than most

But now things have changed
Your friends list rearranged

I used to be on top of it
Now I'm just a Towel in the Closet

I was your shoulder to cry on
You used to miss me when I was gone

All your other "friends" came back
And you remembered how I lack

You hang with them now
I'm not even a pal

Even though none of them cared
I remember the secrets that we shared

Remember who was there
Who you didn't want out of your hair

We had a good bond, you and me
But now it's gone completely

I wish we still had it
But now I'm just a Towel in the Closet

Author's Note

this poem is from personal experience. i was a best friend, the only one that would even talk to her during the summer and we were closer than siblings, but when school started again and all her other friends, who dont care as much probably, are hanging with her again I'm just a towel in the closet. it can also be for a different situation i guess and it was kinda like a controlled vent. like it?

I don't know what to say. It was beautiful Harly, but'm close to tears now. in my home town i had the best friend there could ever be. i moved away because the school there wasn't very good but used to go back every june july holidays and spend a few weeks at my grand parents and with my friend. since he's moved away too, i've found out he loved me and i never even knew. now it's kindof late to tell him. :/
