My dearest friend, it's time to say good-bye, <br />It’s so hard for me to write this, I would rather shrivel up and die. <br /> <br />I never thought I could do this, to let you go this way, <br />But your self-destructive behavior has put me in disarray. <br /> <br />We all make choices in our lives, and yours are not healthy you see, <br />The way you live your life, it really stresses me. <br /> <br />This doesn't mean I don't love you; you will always be in my heart, <br />It doesn't mean I'm better then you; it's just time for us to part. <br /> <br />I’m crying as I write this, it’s sad but also true; you have never been there for me, <br />Like I have been there for you. <br /> <br />I’m watching you lose everything, your freedom, children, your life, <br />You sleep with any man; hoping one will take you as his wife <br /> <br /> <br />I listen when you talk to me; I’m hearing what you say, <br />But when I need to talk to you, my words get in your way. <br /> <br /> <br />People are always pointing out that you’re really not my friend, <br />They are right by the choices you make, so it’s time that we just end. <br /> <br />I’m going through a transition, watching the things you do, <br />So I’m trying harder than ever, not to end up like you. <br /> <br />Some of the shocking things you've done have brought me to my knees <br />I hope someday you'll wise up, and with yourself be pleased. <br /> <br />It's time to go goodbye old friend, I’m doing what's best you see <br />Saying goodbye to an old friend, and hello to a new me.<br /><br />shelli kern<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/good-bye-to-an-old-friend-hello-to-a-new-me/
