Poetry: Emotional wounds

by Lyndsay Andrews

Created on: November 05, 2008

"Good Friends"

Things change quickly

With the years

You tend to hold onto the memories

But try to let go of the tears

Friendships that you valued

Change along the way

And the friends you had a year ago

Aren't the same ones you have today

Although there are moments

When you remember a laugh or a joke

It seems that in those memories

There is a shielding cloak

To block out all the frustration

And pain that person gave

Knowing that if you were friends today

They'd be the one digging your grave

For only they can see the hurt

And pain you've held for years

And although they said they'd help

They only added to your fears

I warn you now to watch yourself

For bad relationships that can't cut it

But as the people always say,

"Good friends stab you in the front."
