There is no more you

Written about losing my best friend. I'm so sorry, :/

You are just like them 
They glare, you glare 
They love, you love 
They hurt, you hurt 
They hate, you hate 

You aren't the same anymore.
You aren't the guy I once knew.
Do I love you? I don't know,
sometimes I think I do the other half
I'm not so sure.

You have two personalities, polar opposites. 
Who is the real you?
The "you" I see, or the "you" others see? 
You aren't the guy I used to call my best friend.
I want my old best friend back.

What happened to the guy
who used to be there
and held me while I cried?
What happened to the guy
who stuck up for me
when people talked smack about me? 
Now betrayal is suddenly cool with you. 
What happened to the funny guy
who made me smile and laugh
on the worst days of my life? 
Now everyday is a worsening struggle.
You are nowhere to be found. 
What happened to the guy
I used to talk to endlessly about absolutely nothing? 
Now I'm lucky if I get a "hey what's up?"
What happened to the guy
I used to trust with all my secrets? 
Now I'm lucky if I can speak two words
And trust that u won't tell them.
What happened to the guy
that I used to know like the back of my hand? 
Now you are like a foreign country. 
What happened? 
Sometimes, I don't even know
who you are anymore.

very good poem. sometimes people change so quickly right before our eyes we can't believe it really happened.

it's sad when that happens

[Jaded Mermaid]

Powerful. Sometimes when we lose our friends it's almost as if we've lost ourselves.

[ImagineItAll]

I like this. It's an inevitable thing to happen to all of us and the way you wrote about it shows how much hurt he has caused you.

Sometime people will change. A very strong poem. Some questions we would like answered to understand why people do what they do? Thank you for a excellent poem and happy birthday.

A great poem indeed, something that I certainly have experienced a few times myself. This poem captures it 'To a T'.

Super:)
