About the Poem

I wrote this poem at a time in my life in which my friend deserted me. It hurt me because I thought he really cared and it confused me so...the sudden change. I now know that when things get rough, you discover who your friends really are. I miss you.. Yet, I know it will never be the same.

And Where Were You?

I never thought I'd see this day,
I never thought I'd feel this way,
You...a stranger to me now.
I'm left with emptiness...
I wish I knew how it could be,
That we were once so open and free.
You were like my brother.. yet so much more
I wish I would have seen what I see now before.
For, I did not and it's too late...
My friend, my lover once, is now unknown.
And what hurts the most is I now know..
What I lost.. and I'm alone.
To face a challenge life has sent,
And not a moment with you I've spent.
I hope one day I can forgive you, my friend..
I miss you....
Why did you go?

Om my gosh. i can relate to this poem almost 100%. just recently a friend of mine whom i loved with all of my heart just randomly turned his back on me, and when i had a very close friend of both mine and his ask him what was up, he said that "he didn't know me. " and anyone who has ever had that happen to them knows it hurts them down to their very core to hear that from someone whom they loved and thought was their friend. so yeah. this poem really made me feel like i wasnt alone in this kind of thing. i loved it.

I have to say, very touching. Just recently I had a male friend. We spent much time together while my boyfriend was out of town. Then one day-I decided to go and bring him food and mabie play some guitar. I found him slouched in his chair almost dead. I went through trauma for I was told he will not make it. Well-he made it through and will not talk to me. I only heard from him once after he had been in the hospital for a month. He is out now and deserted me as a friend. He is out of touch and I am out of mind from this. Some things I just can't understand. Keep writing, It helps! Thanx Lisa
Celina
I absolutely LOVE this poem! It described exactly what I felt when my best friend deserted me. So, I know how hard it is to go through it but you're lucky enough to be able to know how to express yourself through words. I want to thank you for this poem and I hope to read more of your life-related and beautiful poetry!

Your poem touched my heart. There were 4 of us in our "bestfriends" group. We have all been friends over 15 years and all live in the same town. In 2004 I lost my older sister to cancer and then 29 days later I lost my dad to suicide. None of my 3 friends came to either funeral. That was almost 2 years ago now. I've only seen 1 of them since at a dinner party. I wish they only knew how selfish they are. Keep your beautiful work flowing.
BRIANNA
i can relate to this poem very much because one of my very close friends which of course was a boy left me as soon as high school came around. he always told me beautiful things on how he was never going to leave and that we were always going to be together forever as friends but then we got close and we became more. yet i still dont talk to him as much as i would really like he was like a brother to me and he decided just to leave without even saying goodbye. thats why i relate ALOT to this poem and thank you for writing it because i know i couldnt even begin to write this. so on behalf of the non-poetically inclined THANK YOU!
vidhan
