Ex-Best Friends
I wanted to say this,
but it was twisting my tongue,
drowning my lungs,
choking my throat...
I really loved you, as a friend,
cared for you,
enjoyed our time as friends,
but
you really hurt me
and I can feel the distance,
even if you say there's nothing wrong,
I can feel the chasm that split us apart,
I can feel the separation.
I can feel you move on,
with new friends,
while I'm stuck
in my head,
in my mind,
and
in the past,
the past where we were best friends,
hanging out,
laughing,
I'm stuck in
our
past.

Hey best friend
Did you really think it was okay to put me down over and over and use our friendship to get what you wanted? Is it fair that I won't ever stop caring for you because I still value our past? You're going to say it, aren't you? I know, life isn't fair, it never is.
If it was would we still be stuck in this stupid feedback loop of one-sided affection?
A letter that was long overdue
For all the good things that I didn’t buy,
all the good friends I couldn’t keep,
all the kisses that I failed to deliver,
all the Hellos that I did not wave,
all the “thank you” notes that I didn’t send out,
all the hands that I never got to shake;
all the hearts that I wasn’t able to heal;
all the laughters that we could have enjoyed,
and all the tears that we could have shared together;
all the love-affairs that I failed to transcend into friendship;
all the tender feelings that I eventually letting go;
all the promises that I broke;
all the dreams that I shattered;
all the hearts that I walked pass without making a ripple inside;
all the songs that I failed to remember how to reverberate;
all my good years that I did not learn how to cherish;
all the bad years that I failed to learn how to regurgitate;
and all creature-beings, big or small that I intentionally or accidentally hurt or killed…
I am here calling all of you with all my past regrets into my life,
I am here to shake hands with you,
and invite all of you to my birthday party,
I share all my good days ahead with you,
with all my resources, unconditional love, and
undivided compassion and attentions with you.
Please accept my apologies,
for failing in recognizing
the preciousness and importance of your presence
in my life.
Please show me,
how to enhance my awareness to the very tenderness
of your heart even better;
teach me how to expand my sensing, touching and feeling of your treasurable pristine soul even deeper,
and allowing me to extend my deepest gratitude to your very existence in my heart even further.
A gleaming golden knot
10-karat gold, a cold
gleaming chain of rope woven links
that she began when she grabbed my life
and linked it to her own
voiceless then,
until the end I followed and
was strung by hand (hers)
through oiled cloth
a decade long
for miles and miles
her laughter lit the chain afire
a burning pit
pure gold drip, a copper core
it was never good enough
I know, I swore
promised I was better, broken
harder, colder,
an alloy that held
bitter words
til brittle snapped
should have held your hand
reciprocated
my fault, your fault
our metal chain became a brand
I wish you said it
I am sorry that i hurt you in worst way.
I didn't know i was being this selfish.
I should have been there by your side when u needed me,
instead i chose her over you.
I wish i can change the past.
I wish i can take out your pain.
We were great together before all these.
I don't know how i let that happened.
I am really sorry for what i have done to you,
I am sorry that i broke your trust.
He could have said such things to her,
Her soul might have been saved.
But he replaced her with someone else very easily,
And emptiness found forever home inside her.
You stink
The smell of you turns heads for some
But for me, I stumble when you pass me by.
The smell of you makes me wander about, running from the scent that introduces you
And even when I cover up
the hint of you hits me in the head. Nauseous I get...and since you can’t seem to understand my requests to omit the odor
Hear me now; for, tact does evade me...
You reek and the smell of you makes me sick!
To an ex friend
I have always hated what you've done
A liar deserves another liar though, and that's why I have you
I guess that you even replaced me too
Because you replaced me with the one person I couldn't bother lying to
And you made him lie to me
Over
and Over
and Under
and Again.
I left you and told you that I didn't blame you and that I loved you.
And I had loved you, but I did not mean it when I last saw you.
You made me toxic and I hated your guts.
But I refuse to let you change me.
