Friends?
Will we ever be friends again?
I doubt it
She's staying
Which means no hanging out
She gets jealous
And overprotective
So we can't hang out
I feel like crying
Knowing that I'll never
Get one of my best friends back
All because
She doesn't want it to happen
Because she doesn't like me
And it is too controlling
And because you
Let it happen
We text
But there is something
That happened between us
That no amount of texting will ever fix
No matter how hard we try
We can't show the pain through a screen
I don't think you realize
How much it hurts
To know that we will never
Watch a movie together
Take a walk together
Talk in person
Again
At least not while
You two are together
I miss the small things
Like texting after
A long day
And laying around
Watching a movie
Or petting my dog
And talking
God, how I miss it
I know you want to fix things
And I know
That we are both trying
But answer me this
Will we ever be friends again?
3 AM
Here I am again
At 3 in the morning
With all these thoughts
Running through my head
About him
About the guy at work
About them
Wondering how I got to this position
Where I keep my mouth shut
Don't tell anyone
Because who can put it into words?
This emptiness I feel when I see him
The terrified feeling when I think about seeing him at work again
The feeling of hopelessness when I found out she's staying
How I know I'll never get my friend back
It's 3 AM
And the wheels are still turning
The thoughts are still going
I need to sleep
But it's not happening
6 Days
6 days
144 hours
8,640 minutes
518,400 seconds
That's all we have
Until he moves
Until we split up
Until we go to a different school
Until we get a break
Until we start our jobs
Until we lose contact
Until we break promises to do more things together
Until we are done
I'm not prepared
Neither are they
Only one is
And God I wish I was them
I'm not ready to lose my friends
I'm not ready for everything to change
Why can't time just stop for a moment
So I can look around and say
"I love all of you just the way you are"
Why can't we stop growing up
Just long enough to lose ourselves
In the fun we have with each other
I'm not prepared for all of those
Good times we had together
To be just spider infested memories
I don't want to lose any of them
I want time to stop
I'm not ready for these 6 days to pass
I'm not prepared to be a memory
To them and for them
To be a memory to me
Friends
We talked yesterday
I was more open with you
Than I have been in months
I said I wanted to be friends
But wasn't sure if that's what you wanted
I said I wasn't going to force you
To do something
You didn't want to do
You wanted me to accept your friendship
You asked "Are you going to be happy
Or not?"
I said I'm learning
To be happy on my own
To not let my happiness depend on others
I'd love to be your friend
You are an amazing person
Who I want in my life
But not by force
It all used to be so easy
Like water flowing down a river
But now that water is a square
And the river a circle that the square
Cannot fit through no matter how you push
It was so much easier when we weren't broken
Before we broke each other
But I started fixing myself
While you got worse
And now I will fix us both
As I've done many times
And will keep doing
Until we are both repaired
Because we are friends
And that's what friends are for
An Apology
I'm sorry
For hurting them
For letting him hurt me
For being a train wreck
For never saying anything
For saying too much
For being sensitive
I apologize to
E.K. For saying yes
M.P. For not telling you much
M.W. For making you think something that wasn't true
D.C and A.S. For hurting you
T.S. For causing trouble
J.S. For not doing band
C.S., P.S., Z.S., and M.S. For being annoying
L.R. For not being enough
I regret
Never saying what I thought
Never asking questions
Never meeting expectations
Always forgetting
Always being upset
Always breaking promises
Please accept my apology
I truly mean it
There are so many others that I want to apologize to
But I wanted to start with you guys
Silent
She stays silent.
Because it's easier.
How is she to explain something
She doesn't understand?
Something that doesn't make sense to her.
Because it's smarter.
She won't sound like an idiot.
Trying to explain something she doesn't understand.
Because it's saving them.
She loves them
And doesn't want to see them hurt
She doesn't want to pass along the pain
Because it's less trouble.
She won't sit there
Trying to get their attention
And when she finally does
They sound annoyed.
Or if she doesn't
She gives up
Knowing she's not important
Because it's better.
For them.
They won't have to deal with
The annoying
Sensitive
Stupid
Girl
Because it doesn't matter.
She's not important
So why should it?
They ignore her daily
And she knows it
She knows she's not important to them
But they're important to her
So she will always be there to pick them up
Even if they aren't there for her
She will be there when they're broken-hearted
She'll be there when they are feeling down
She will be there when they don't have the will to go on
Even if she isn't there for the good times
They have with others
She will always be there
Because she cares
Mood
I wanted to
But I didn't
I've been in a mood
For a couple days now
Only a couple have noticed
The change in my mood
I don't know how
To explain my mood
Or what causes it
I just get in a mood
It's like when
You just don't feel up to anything
You want time to stop
You want everything to slow down
In 14 days
I'll be in a different school
In 14 days
He may be gone
In 14 days
My life will change
In 14 days
We will be separated
In 14 days
We will stop talking as much
In 14 days
I don't know what I'll do
I'm scared for those 14 days to pass
I don't want change
I know I should embrace it
But it's all too much
Maybe what's waiting
At the end
Of the 14 days
Is what is causing my mood
Happppyyyyyyyy
I need to find it again
Find myself again
Learn
When I've had too much
When I need to stop
When to make them stop
How to make myself happy
Before he came along,
I was able to be happy for myself
Now I don't even know
What makes me happy
I need relearn
Relearn it all
And I will
Just give me some time
And I will be able
To be happy for myself
Yellow
It was yellow
A yellow day
Until they said it
And made it gray
The sky turned dark
And the flowers rotted
They all saw it
But away they trotted
The classroom was white
But quickly turned black
I know they noticed
But nobody tried to turn it back
It was yellow
A yellow day
Until they said it
And made it gray
