This poem was written just today (4/18/99) for a friend of mine. She and I just are totally not on the same wavelength. I feel she doesn't need me. I used to tell her everything and now we sometimes don't even say hello anymore. I haven't showed her this poem and I don't know if I ever will (it was a way for me to release my feelings). I hope things get back to normal between us, because if I ever do tell her goodbye I will miss her terribly.

This poem originally was published in Friendship Poems - Poems about Lost Friends

Goodbye
Well maybe now I should just say goodbye
You used to be my friend
But I never felt I really was yours
So maybe this is the end.
I'm different from you, all of you
Each other we've never understood
I hope that if I do tell you goodbye
That it won't be for good.
Whenever I'm mad it hurts me so bad
And you don't even care
I don't know why, I just want to cry
And someday I won't be there.
The streaks on my arm they've done me no harm
They're only made of pen
But once they are blood that turns brown like mud
They'll be there again and again.
If I'm mad at you I'll hurt myself too
But that doesn't really matter
Although when I hurt I feel like dirt
And my spirit's bruised and battered.
I do not know why it has to be so
I really wish it did not
But the way this has been going
it is basically shot.
You don't need me and we don't need we
And that's how I think I know why
These words are the ones I have to speak-
I love you, but goodbye.

    this poem was really deep and well described and should be given the time to be read
  • PHUMZA
    i think that in so many words a person can tell a tale, your poem has touched me deep in the core. sometimes its hard to express ones feelings and in writing you can never go wrong. it is a heart felt message and i hope you and your friend sort things out in the end, finding true friends is hard these days if someone finds one they must nature it and take care of the friendship. YOUR POEM IS BEAUTIFUL! I WILL PRINT IT AND KEEP IT.

  • Angel
    This poem is very interesting, and unique. in a good way. It reflects a different side of friendship that we hear less of. People wish to deny the true meaning of friendship- i guess that is beause we all have out different opinions of what friendship is!
  • Qiara
    this poem touched me cause the friends that i once had we don't talk anymore and t just had to let them go
  • Othello
    exellent
  • Jacqueline
    I had a friend once too. but she's no longer a friend to me. we just drifted further and further away from each other. we used to tell each other secrets and roar with laughter at each other's jokes. but now we dun even say "hi" to one another these days. it makes me think if we were ever friends before. i just wanna say your poem touched ma a lot. it was a great poem. after reading it, i guess now its my turn to say goodbye.
  • christina
    This poem is great and it really touched me
  • Colin
    Wow, ty so much, i feel the same way, and didnt know how to put it in words. Ive been ina friendship, with someone but it hasnt been going good, rough times. but anyways ty so much i appreciate u writing this. 10/10 +5
  • Desiree
    I really love this poem. To me there is a lot of power in it . It's one of the best I read so far this year .
  • Michelle
    This poem basically identified what my friendship is going through with my best friends. My two friends were the best, I loved them with all my heart. Now they have rejected me, and I feel like this poem completely described my feelings. so I thank you Rosebud.
  • Dave
    The poem's great, but the thing that struck me most is that we had that in common cause i was in the same situation. =)
  • Sarah
    Your poem touched me. deeply. I have-well, had-a friend and our friendship crumbled under similar circumstances. I still don't understand why. it's an ugly situtation. She no longer speaks to me. and it hurts so bad because she meant the world to me. I just don't know what I did wrong. something so horrible that she averts her eyes to avoid making contact with mine. and seems to do everything in her power to make my life unbearable. All of this, and still-the only thing I feel is sadness. confusion. Not anger. Well, there are those moments of frustration, but always beneath is just that question: why? and the wish that maybe. just maybe. someday she'll forgive me-for whatever it is I've done to wrong her. Though, I know this is an empty wish. I always know. This is my story, and after reading yours, I felt compelled to tell you that I suffer with you. you're not alone. and in the end, we will be stronger women and men for it. So thank you. Sarah
  • jazmin
    i like this poem alot it reminds me of what happened to me.
  • AngelDriver11
    I love this poem! Its like it knew exactly what I've wanted to say!
  • dorothy
    this poem is great. is always hard to said goodbye to someone especially someone u hold dear. but one my great fren leave me coz of some misunderstood. he is not there now and all i can do is to give him this poem as both of us like poems too. i hope he understand me.
  • Hilary
    I really love this poem. I have been friends with someone for 9 years, and she just met new friends and has changed to someone i know her not to be. You have basically put into words what i feel, anf now i know there is someone else out there dealing with the same thing. Thank you, and I hope you make more poems becase you are really talented!
  • sweet
    my heart touched by this poem. and i sent it to my dear friend, because i know that i have to let him go. i hope my friend could understand this poem.
  • mark michael
    it is very inspiring, emotional, and it touches my heart
  • RAYZA
    I think this poem was hot becuase I had a friend and it was just like this poem. I really like your poem.
  • Joanna
    Is a really good poem!
  • kristi
    That was exelent i loved it.
  • heather
    I love your poem it really touched me. Me and my friend have been fighting for a long time and i don't think it's going to get any better but I don't want to let go. I know I should but I don't want to let go so because of my stubborness I go through all this pain. We hardly ever talk anymore. If me and my other friend are walking in the hallway she just looks at me and says hi to my other friend and keeps walking. I don't want to say goodbye it's like i'm giving up then.
  • felicia
    the reason why im voting for this poem is because i have a friend that just left and i didnt get to say bye and this poem really explaines my friend and i
  • Heaven
    I love this poem because it touches me because I feel the same way about a best friend that I had to say Goodbye to.
  • Ayn
    u have represented my sitution & me in words . it allways happends to . i lost my freinds & loveone . just cuz i dont know how to keep them in heart .
  • Siyon
    Excellent Stuff
  • kerri
    my friends have all ditched me because they think that i have been causing trouble between them all and it wasnt me that said anything but it has been made to sound like i am the one who is doing the wrong this has made me feel so down and i have had to spend all of my lessons today alone in a different classroom away from them otherwise their hatred will get worse for me. this poem has helped me to realise that if they were my real friends they would have realised that it wasnt me that caused all of this trouble and that they should have beleived me when i said it wasnt me. thankyou.
  • tash
    this poem is xctli how i feel, me and all my mates have gone thru such hard times and im gratfuel for the ones that are here for me now, i jst wish the ppl i thought were my real mates were 2. people take friendship like its nothing but u dnt realise what uve gt till its gone. I think friendship is such a precious thing in life and it should never be taken for granted. I dedicate this really to my friend flo who i know will always be here for me love you so much.
  • Samantha
    WOW! this is really good. really think you show show it to your friend. This poem makes we want to cry. On a scale 1-10 I give you a 30. Awesome job
  • Jamie
    I guess why this poem touched my heart was because I had a friendship where I didn't know what was going on. And it was time to say goodbye, but I couldn't, and so now all I do Is write poetry about her, longing for our friendship again. So just to say, I understand what you meant.
  • Allie

    O. M. G. This poem is what I'm going through right now with my ex best friend. Now I feel terrible but she said what she felt right in front of me so it hurt but don't matter no more cause she was really talking about herself!
  • Shinoj Kumar
    Just splendid. I am in the same situation. This poem has made me energitic to move forward to say my love to my friend. Thanks indeed for such a provokating poem. Thanks a lot.
  • Taylor
    Hola, Sometimes friends are in a different places and are doing different things. Just because things are different between you both, It doesn't mean the friendship has ended. You just need to respect the other person space. A good friend will always come back to the friendship, if she feels she is welcomed and still loved It's no reflection on you as a person. I am sure you would want a friend who gave u the freedom to grow and experience new things. I enjoyed your poem. writting is the best way to express the voice of your heart. I encourage you to continue. I wish you continued success. T

    This poem really has touched me and I wrote it down and told all my 'Friends' about it and they looked like they were about to cry. The next day I moved and didn't say a word, but i had someone that checked on them and she told me that they had changed. I still haven't spoke to them. I don't want to, I wanted to teach them there lesson. I guess I did. -Tiffany

I always thought what is said and what is perceived is the same. the poem taught me that love is in my heart and i can only wish her heart is the same feeling for me. shown by act not by words. I am sending here a copy of this poem. Thank You again

    I am a young teenager who just lost probably one of the most imporant friends in my life. This truly was inspiring. I'm voting for this poem on her birthday. I've sent her several poems on this site, in a birthday email, to show her how much she meant to me. But I can't send this poem, because although I've said it already, my heart can't say goodbye.

I mean Im pretty sure that if I was hurt that she would be there for me, but she never tells me and im always telling her "Kathy if you need anything or if you get hurt, I will always be there for you!" and she always tells me alright but it just seems as if she don't care and when she's around one of our friends Ashley. Well we get in fights alot but she's still my friend. it's like Kathy don't even wanna be around me! Well. I can really relate to this poem because have the time I want to say goodbye!

  • Danielle
    This poem was really great. It reminded me of my old best friend. She started hanging with the "IN CROWD". And we weren't as good of friends as we were. And her and her new friends started treating me really badly. They still do, and this poem gave me the courage to stand up to them, and tell them off. This poem really inspired me, a whole lot. I hope that Rosebud and her old friend, will be reunited once again in the future. And Rosebud, you are a really good writer, and you should keep up the good work! Maybe your writing will inspire someone else like it did me. Thank you.

    I wanted to show my friend how I felt because I felt like she and I were not friends anymore becuase she got a new boyfriend and better friends, and I was looking for a poem that would show her how I felt and when I read this one I thought it was really perfect.
  • karen
    I love this poem. I feel like it relates to me. How that even though you make someone mad, you still feel sorry for it. And at the end of a friendship that was all argueing you let the person know you still love them. I guess, I don't really know how to explain why I like it so much, but I do. I'm glad I chose this one to read.
  • rachel
    im going through a fight with one of my friends right now and this poem tells my feeling exactly
  • Chris
    WOW. this the exact way i feel about my old best friend. It felt to me like she didn't care and all she could say was sorry and that was it. Now we don't talk at all anymore but i wish it would go back to normal! i love the poem!
  • melissa

  • sandi
    i just lost my best friend she doesn't need me anymore because she found happiness. i feel your pain
  • alex
    Oh gosh i know exactly how that feels. i was hurt so bad when my best friend and my boy friend went off behind my back and did that to me. i hurt really bad, i was really dissappointed in her. from him it didnt really surprise me, but she hit my spot and that hurts. yea, u touched me.
  • Alex
    I really do feel your pain. My best friend and my long time boyfriend were together behind my back, and when i found out about it they both denied it to me. I still love both of them. From him, it didnt really surprise me all that much, guys can be harsh. But form her. I dont even know what to think anymore.
  • Black
    it's nice
  • Zalekha
    I like this poem very much as it is very much to the point and sometimes all you just need is words like this to touch peoples' minds and pull their heart strings.

  • Ronnie
    Excelent poem. Exactly the words i wanted to say to a friend but didn't know how. You gave me the answer. Show her the poem. Thanks!
  • Jessica
    I had a hard time expressing what I felt about someone and your poem put them right in my mouth.
  • alexander
    I think this poem was very wonderful. I think Rosebud's friend should start to act like a true friend because if you ever do make a friend you should know they mean a lot to you. And if you ever feel like just dropping them you should see how much pain you could cause. I hope that eventually Rosebud and her friend can manage to become the friends that they were in the past. Overall I would give this poem a 10 out of 10 for the best poem I have ever read in my whole entire life! I hope to see more poems by Rosebud and hope she feels better and gets her friend back!
  • Gisele
    This poem is exactly how I feel about my best friend and how she treats me. I love it so much. This is the second time I've read this poem and it gets better and more meaningful everytime I read it. I know I need to say this to me best friend but it's hard but maybe this poem will help me get the courage to do what I really need to do.
  • chelsey

  • Lisa
    thankyou for this poem. I have always had a problem with finding friends in my middle school and i really thought this girl would be by my side all the way to college. But now that ive headed up to high school, all she can do is betray me and everything she told me she would never do. this poem helped me a lot because now i realize, a lot of people really do like me for me. Thankyou this poem is a 10

    This poem is so true. I can relate to this poem so much. It was hard for me to say goodbye also .
  • sweet
    aww, this poem is so sweet. Saying good bye is hard, i kno. its really a good poem and its based on reality and many ppl can relate to it.
  • Azk
    I can really relate to this poem of yours. oh my god, it's exactly what I'm going through. I have a friend who I've known since kindergarten till now (9th Grade) but I can tell we're distancing each day and it hurts because I still care but I know that she doesn't. I feel so used. Your poem is great work, I may be a mere 14 year old but when I see a great poem. it's a great poem!
  • Robyn
    I had went through the same thing. My best friend of 8 years betrayed me. And your poem is what I had to do- say "Good-bye". I completley relate to what you are going through.
  • inez

  • Hal
    This poem really explains how my bestfriend feels about one of our other close friends! She hasn't really been there but still she feels like she's one of her bestfriends! My friends r the most important thing to me! I just hope u all realize how great your friends r b/c one day. u may not have them anymore!
  • Keri
    i really like this poem and i hate all my friends i wish i could just disapper. !
  • Si
    Oh my gosh!This is such a beautiful poem! I am going through something similar at the moment and this poem has touched me deeply.
  • Glad
    That was the perfect poem for me to read right now, I mean, who I considered a best friend is treating my like crap, and has replaced me with another friend, so I promised myself next year, I'd say GOODBYE to her!
  • Jenni
    I really love this poem. It really shows how i feel about my "ex friend" and how i should act. I think this person is a really good poem writer and really knows what they're doing.
  • Kisha
    I thought that this poem was very true. I am going through the same thing with my used-to-be-best friend , but the only difference is that I dont know whether to say good bye and just give up or not. I guess I should because it seems like she already has. Thanx
  • bianc
    i really liked your poem. saying goodbye to a friend is really hard to do, and the reason i know why its hard to say goodbye is becuase i had to say goodbye to a friend of mine.
  • Jayne
    The poem can truly relate to what's happening to me now. Keep up your good work!
  • Fiona
    this poem was really sad and I know what it is like because i am fostered don't know my sisters and brothers that well and my parents don't care about me I have been living in a foster home since I was 18 months old and I made one true friend and she was like a sister but now i am slowly losing her and it hurts to know i thought she really cared and would be there forever but she won't be maybe she's meant to be only with someone else not me
  • bec
    i love this because it relates to me and my best friend who i have kown for 4 years now and this in particular it feels like she doesnt care bout me anymore like shes saying we are in highschool and i dont have to be your friend anymore, i can do what ever i want yet i no something about her which her mum should no but once again i havent said anything because i dont want to risk loosing her!
  • kaite
    sounds exactly like what my old best friend FOREVER did to me. he wont even talk to me nemore and i miss him soo much. he meant the world to me and now i cant even say hello or gaze into his beautiful eyes. wonderful job. keep up the fanatastic work.
  • Gabby

  • Alish
    I have to say i really really love your poem! I wanted to find something to send to my ex-best friend, she turned on me, i'm 13 yrs. old and she threw all of our friendship down the drain. I cried for the last 5 days over, thanx for the great poem :)

  • katie
    I can understand why u feel so hurt
  • Erika
    Great poem. I've thought of saying goodbye to a friend before, 'cause she doesn't seem to need me. nor really want me. sometimes I just feel like I'm only there when no one else is. otherwise she doesn't notice. I'm planning to give her this poem. I just don't know when I'll get the nerve to.
  • yanny
    i like this poem very much. =) it has deep meanings in it. and the situation being describe here suits my situation when i was about to say gd bye to my bf. i was left with no choice but just to let him go=(. by the way. well done rosebud!

  • Leeza
    I loved this poem. it totally relates to me. my friends dont care about me. and if i ever said goodbye i dont think they will care that i would be leaving them. i feel like i cry everynight and they just bring more pain and dont help me. this poem totally relates. GREAT POEM

  • Ché

  • sangini
    when i read this poem, i just couldn't help but cry. it touched my heart so deeply, and i think that's the highest complement a poet can recieve. it made me think of one of my very good friends, whom i lost b'coz i never took the time to understand.

    Thanx for the lovely poem . I thought my girlfriend loved me, only to know that she was playing around with me. With this poem, I was able to speak out what I really felt and say goodbye with out crying or fighting and in a more dignified manner.
  • Shannon
    This poem was very sad, but also very good. It sounds exactly how I feel about my friendship with my best friend. It's like she doesn't need me or anything, and it hurts everyday I see her at school or think about her. Anyway, this was one of the best poems.
  • Britney
    This poem touched my heart because it says EXACTLY what is going on between me and my ex-best friend.
  • Marggie
    wow. I really like this poem. it was like one I just wrote. I just said goodbye to a best friend because different beliefs. ones that he couldnt respect. this poem reallt hit home.

    These poems means a lot to me considering I feel the same way about one of my friends. She hurts me more than she help me.and its time to cut it off!
  • Erika
    This is great poem. I have felt like this. Like she didn't care or need me. Keep on writng.
  • Anoop
    Dear Rosebud, You give the words to my feelings too. I am in love with a girl and finding myself in the same boat in which u sailed.
  • debs
    i can understand ur pain. you are right, and it's confusing, cuz u need them sooo much, but they just don't 'need' u anymore! It hurts. it would take lotsa guts to reveal ur heart like that. Thank you. you have touched my heart.
  • Gemma
    This poem is the greatest. I felt you were writting about my and me ex-bestfriend, that I lost four months ago. Losing her was the worst thing that ever happened to me. Keep writting your poems and I'll keep reading them!
  • Sophia
    I WANTED TO READ SOMETHING THAT WOULD MAKE ME BECOME STRONGER AGAIN AND KNOWING THAT I CANNOT TRUST ANYONE. MY FRIEND WROTE SOMETHING ON A SHEET OF PAPPER AND I FOUND IT KNOW I KNOW THAT I TRULY HAVE NO FRIENDS.
  • Danielle
    This poem is very good because people know all about what she is tring to say!!

  • Kaycee
    This poem is such a great, but sad one! Right now I've been put on the spot! I'm going to hand this poem off to my best friend! I don't think that we were meant to be at this point! Just like it said she doesn't need me, but I sure do need her though! She just doensn't see it the same way! Thanks a lot!

  • Jenifer
    When I read this poem I really related to it. My friend and I have been friends for almost 4 years and it seems that we have grown apart from each other and that we don't need one another anymore. It is a great poem and it helped me say goodbye to her.
  • Mike
    I liked this poem alot
  • T.J.
    I really enjoyed your poem. I recently lost a good friend over an argument but he has been extremely bullheaded and stubborn about talking it over, even though i have tried.
  • Abhay
    Written straight from the heart. Writer feels that the poignancy of the words are enough , no fancy vocabulary needs to be use.. and I totally agree with her. A very touching poem which one can associate with . A real pleasure to read.
  • Karrie
    I think that this poem is amazing, I even think it might be one of the best ones I ever heard.
  • Claire
    I really liked your poem. I read it because I got into a fight today with my friend, it was sad but I liked it. thanks

    The reason I like this poem so much is because it reminds me of my former bestfriend. It's very true.

  • Xrystal
    This is the most beautiful poem! I have a friend that this could apply to. Thanks for sharing it.
  • patthy
    I liked very much. It reflects exactly how I feel now. It's good. Unfortunately love always hurts. but never destroys. and the pain last even more.
  • marquita
    THIS POEM IS WELL-WRITTEN AND I THINK ITS EXCELLENT
  • Karo
    wow! I really liked the poem. Maybe it´s because right now i´m passing through a similar situation. and it´s so hard when you realize that you have to say goodbye to your best friend. but maybe it´s the best thing to do
  • Dwbg
    it's really a poem to express my feelings. I have not much friend and nobody cares about me at all. They're just using me for their own benefit. I really felt like crying when i read the poem. Thanks for such a nice poem!
  • Caitlin
    Hey I can so relate to this.It'll take time but things will work out I promise! Even if you guys aren't best friends again, things always can (and eventually will) get better.
