Breaking off these webs of pain
I never want to love again
I gave my heart, and cruelly
You returned it broken to me.
I look at you now and wonder what I’d seen
Because the person I’d fallen for had never been this mean
But I said nothing, hoping all along
That maybe sooner or later, you’d realize your wrong.
Well obviously you didn’t, because here we are
Teetering precariously close to a hopeless war
And it saddens me greatly to think that maybe one day
Because of self-fulfilling prophecy our friendship will fade away.
What I see before me, a shadow of what once was
And I’ve got the strangest feeling: telling you was the cause.
Your attitude slowly changed towards me, pushing me away
You picked the worst way to reject me, is all I have to say.
I remember when I first met you, though fuzzy, not clear
They were happy times, after drama; times that I hold near
Cute, lovable were words I had chosen for you
I began to think, a new best friend, and hoped you thought that too
Yet strangely enough, now I sit, quietly broken hearted
Wishing that my feelings for you had long ago departed.
Because the person now in front of me, shuns me when I’m near
They flinch at any contact and freeze up as if in fear.
So the truth is what I’ll tell you; I’ll tell you loud and clear:
I don’t give a damn about my feelings for you, its our friendship I hold dear
And I don’t want something distant, something refined, something fake;
I want a real friendship, not a long, slow, painful heartbreak.
So here is where I’ll be waiting: I’ve been waiting all along
Trying to keep a happy smile, to keep these broken pieces strong
Because I know your feelings, the ones you feel for me
And if friendship’s all you ever want, then friendship it will be.

- Title: Better Friends than Forgotten
- Artist: Little-Lenah
- Description: Okay, so here is yet another poem about the guy I like. Its a different guy this time. I told him how I felt about him and he started being mean to me. Eventually I got pissed off and wrote this poem. Our friendship was almost lost because of his actions, but we're all good now. I still like him, he still knows. And I no longer care that he knows. If we can't be together (as in boyfriend-girlfriend), then I am fine with just being his friend <3

My favourite lines out of my poem are these:
And I don’t want something distant, something refined, something fake;
I want a real friendship, not a long, slow, painful heartbreak. - Report As Spam
