Why did you leave?

Why did you leave?
Just leave me, helpless,
Scared and alone
I thought I could trust you
I told you my secrets
You helped me
Took the thoughts away
For awhile
You were my lifesaver
My hero
I could tell you my pain
You wouldn’t judge
Or laugh, or hurt
You would care and
Comfort me
Why, why
Did you
Leave?

Author notes

I wrote this because I had this really close friend, and she was the one I knew I could talk to, she was my safety net, like a sister. She always listened and helped me whenever she could.. I could just go to her house when I needed to escape my pain and needed comfort. She was there. But then she just "left" she doesn't talk to me or hang out with me anymore.. we barely text. We still go to the same school.. but...

I miss her... now I have like no one to talk to..

Hope.

Did you ever have a close friend that just left you in pain?

    This poem really hit home for me. I have been through the exact same thing. There are some very cruel people in this world that will use and abuse you just for their own pleasure. You just have to remembeer that you are wayy better than any of those people.

    you are a wonderful poet. I loved how you formatted this poem.

    Oh, Hope...I wish I could help. Trust me, I've been in this situation before, and I know how much it hurts. You know that everyday I think of you, and hope that your troubles end soon. This girl, whoever she is, is a complete butt head. She doesn't deserve to be your friend if she doesn't see what a gem you are!!!

    Sending my sisterly love,

    Lake.

    Dear hope I have had friends leave me in pain so many times, in fact for a while I found it really hard to trust people in general. But one thing I did learn is that if they are true friends as time will pass the friendship you shared will live on. I am sorry to hear this is happening to you it's really painful especially if they just don't talk to you. But remember hope if a friend leaves your heart do not close the door because there are others out there. I have been hurt so many times and I know I will keep on getting hurt but I keep my heart open. Because there will always be someone to listen, people you thought didn't actually care but they really do. So I really hope that you and your friend will start talking again soon.

    Yes I did.

    It hurts to have someone just turn their back on you. I'm sorry that happened. You are wrong though about having no on to talk to. You could talk to me about anything and I wouldn't judge you. I would only offer you whatever advice I could. This is quite sad but good. You remember that I'm your friend and you can always talk to me.
