Best friend poems, poetry about our closest friends. Poems about friendship, love, support and the ups and downs of a relationship with a best friend.
emo twinks still remind me of you
I purge these old memories
a lifetimes worth of horror
and I find that your face
is the only one I miss
Because we were beautiful
and fucked up and you
were my best friend
I still remember the way
it felt to get wrapped up
in your slender arms
and the way you tasted
of cigarettes and Malibu
and platonic love
I remember the way we'd
write terrible poetry together
you, my first ever
collaborater in crime
the shit we penned on paper
often making us laugh so hard
we...

My Quebec Princess
Blue Montreal midnight
For primrose lady
Fallen into Erebus’ embrace
Veins on fire with hurt
Corpuscles burning a path
Through blood vessel boughs
In her tree of tears
When even Wiccan prayers
Can’t make the nightmare go away
Whose ghouls haunt her horoscope
With Sagittarius monsters
A tarot reading
She never suspected
When in the tempest of puberty
She felt like a passing gale
That surely wouldn’t last
Past the turning of the Zodiac wheel
That offered no reprieve ...

Lazy Sunday
Let's have a lazy Sunday
if only for one day
let's lay down and just be
let me listen to you breathe
We can get up later and have a snack
We can joke around and I end up on your lap
you don't hold too tight
maybe later on deeper into the night
Let's talk about the dreams we once had
Let's laugh about them as if we very bad
Let me whisper sweet nothings into your neck
and have you agree as you give me a Peck
I love having lazy Sundays with you
Synchronize hearts can only be true
We admitted something that...

Letter to a writer Part V
I see you got my letter. I got yours.
I want to apologise for some misunderstanding. You have never made me feel like a bug in a jar. (Okay, maybe once, during a fight, and you held a lighter to my insanity, but that's not what I meant when I wrote you last).
You... you make me feel like a whole person. Sometimes I wonder if you're the only one who really knows me. And I think maybe you do, in the way you do, in the way our history binds us.
But I'm also not invisible anymore, not like I was when I met you, and I'm surrounded by more love now than I...

secrets to be guilty of
I want to call you
even though we only talked
yesterday
But I don't want to say
what's on my mind
I don't want to find
where your judgement limit begins
because once I start spilling secrets
I don't know where they'll end
And all I can think about
between my self-created drama
is how your husband
looked me up
to get the dirt on you
so many years ago
a few months
before he left you
and made me promise
to keep our conversations
a secret
And I did
because I...

Letter to a writer Part IV (repost)
I know you remember everything. I still remember our starting point, and how easily you became my muse. I sometimes wonder what it's like to be a muse, how it must feel to be the art, and not the artist.
But then again, we both know I take all your pretty words for lies, and you can't even compliment my eyes without me wanting to hide my face. You have this way of seeing through me, and I like to pretend I have a good poker face, when the truth is you know all my tells.
Do you remember the time you almost saw me naked? Cause my boyfriend still does, and it's a strange...

WAKING UP TO ANOTHER RAVEN POEM (3-7-2001; Galveston Island, Texas)
still asleep
i sensed his close
silent stare
i heard his comforting
steadily rumbling inner
purr r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
as i felt his fine
double coated manx fur
on his warm
loving paw pad
gently touching my shoulder
then the rough dry lick
of his sandpaper tongue s
sweet tender cat kiss
upon my lower lip
to let me know he was there
so delicately trying to wake me
i slowly awaken
whereupon first opening my eyes
I looked up
into his close up loving gaze
only four inches...

It Takes Twelve Hours Just to Drive Across Texas
Got your love letter
with all the praise and thank yous
for my gentle honesty
and ability to be where you need me
Now, how do I even begin
to tell you everything I think
you should know
about the truths that hide
between words
where things unsaid linger
waiting to be heard
The spaces between stretch
with each omission
increasing tensions
you don't have room to see
Moving from crisis to chaos
and back again
time compresses
months become years
that it's felt you're unavailable ...

Recapturing
Christmas has passed,
and the new year approaches.
I encroach upon you
with a belated text.
The pretext is the weather
to remind you
of everything we have been through.
The snow was our serenity.
Snowflakes fall, and I
want you to know that I walk
for blocks in the symphony
of the busy streets alone.
I have a bittersweet
but upbeat feeling reading your reply.
You have established roots
where it does not snow.
Still, I hope the fruits of your labor
are savored and receive water from the oasis.

Hello Darkness, My Old Friend
You're right, I admit it
This is why I need you here
This is what happens
When I let people get near
I fall into this trap
Time and time again
But you are always real
You never play pretend
As much as it pains me
To have to admit
I need you to step in
Help me forget
I talk bad about you
Make you the bad guy
But the truth is
Im the only one that makes me cry
Forgive me and come back
I won't spurn you again
Im admitting to you now
I need...

these songs in my chest are like birds that can't fly away
I chase down the memory of songs
like music can save me
through these lonely hours
when there's no one to talk to
and my thoughts make me crazy
I ache for touch
and bullshit words
that mean nothing and everything
in this purgatory of existence
because the idea of anything
is like a the spark of a lighter
before the inhale of whatever
is between my fingers
though today there's nothing
in my hands to set ablaze
And I miss the way
you make everything feel alright
like an ocean breeze...

Missed
I wake up daily and your the first person on my brain.
The day you died i secretly went short term insane.
You were always there for me even if I was wrong.
Even when I wasn't right you helped put my thoughts where they belonged.
You never gave up on me and I'm sure that was hard to do.
You kept me safe mentally and spiritually.
You always held my down in reality.
You were my best friend and closest family.
When you passed away for a while I embraced insanity.
I owe you so much for who I am today.
Thats a debt for that some god wouldn't...
