It seemed just yesterday when you were my best friend
All happiness and smiles
How the laughs just seemed to never end
It seemed like our friendship went on for miles
You saw me through my worst
While we sat and watched the sky
Thinking how you helped me, about all the bad feelings you nursed
Now, to me, it all just seems like a lie
Something that happened yesterday, but never again
It seems that I don't know you
From the looks on our faces
You'd never know we were once tried and true
I feel I don't know who is behind the hair and the braces
Now you stand around and talk to your friends
Ambitions and goals around your neck like cheap necklaces
I'm afraid that now, we've both met our ends
I'll eat all that down, if you'd just go back
To the days with me of bubblegum and shoelaces
It seems like my best friend just walked right out
Leaving the empty shell, I don't know how
I feel like I just want to scream and shout
About how much I miss you right now
Life is so lonely, without my right hand
I feel just like a shoe without the other of the pair
Why you would leave me, I don't understand
When I look through your vacant stare,
I don't see the real you, the one who would understand
It seems maybe you left me, with something in mind
Maybe I was a bad friend, who left you in the cold
After all, maybe I just wasn't your kind
All I am asking is: please don't feel undersold.
I know I have sore spots,
You are pretty messed up, too
With your shyness and your reluctance to be more than my friend
With all these feelings inside me, I feel like a pot of beef stew
If you need me, I'll always have a hand to lend
It seems that I have this feeling deep inside me, too
That you'll wake up someday and see that I've always been there
To come back and kiss me like all the fairytale princes do
And I will wait in my spot right here
Until you wake up too
I hope that someday, when the smoke all clears
You'll be waiting for me with a rose in your mouth
Ready to start over, not just a stranger who leers
I'll be ready to forget that our friendship went south,
This time just don't be the one who steers
It seems that even if you leave me,
I'll always be beside you, like a shadow that never leaves
Wishing the best from me to you
That you are happy, may you always have glee,
I'll always love you most, even if our path cleaves
May you always have happiness and remember your best friend, me.
A/N: This is a poem I wrote about Piper's feelings for Jason in the first book The Lost Hero. Just a little something I felt I had to write. It hurts when a friend leaves you, doesn't it? As always, tell me what you thought; love it, hate it, want to rip it to shreds?
