Poem: Battle for Friendship

This is a poem I wrote for my English 3 class. I was supposed to write about an event that closely hurt or effected me. This is about the time I almost lost one of my good friends jut because of some miscommunication.

Battle for Friendship

Burn she says,

To me I thought murder.

Concern for amigo,

I break the news.

 

And like a wave,

 Sweeping over me,

It overtook my whole life,

In only a blink of an eye.

 

Depressing, dark and tortuous days,

Of endless tears,

Of hurt, rejection and shame,

That overflowed beyond capacity.

 

“Gossip, liar and two face,” they say,

“We don’t want her influencing our daughter.

Forbidden is she,

To never talk to her again.”

 

Endless nights of discussion overflowing with pain,

The long essay letters arguing who was right.

“Enough!” I say. “I need a meeting,

I can’t go on living with depression.”

 

It was decided then,

That a meeting was best.

Everyone met to discuss

The concern I had established.

 

Everyone had a confession,

And a reason for my decision,

But weakened by rejection,

I couldn’t handle their reconciliation.

 

I broke down under the weight of misery.

The tears overflowed and suddenly,

A relief overcame me,

Like a heavy burden lifted by wings.

 

For friendship had been reunited,

And every accusation was forgiven.

I was given favor,

For I was no longer a liar!
