"Best Friends"

I'm going to be real right now;
Bout to tell you how I feel right now
It's been spinning around in my membrane
Driving me insane just trying to figure out how
How to put it...
I'm tired of feeling conflicted and
I'm tired of feeling restricted
Of what I can an can not say in order for you to get this
Because when you hear this or see this you'll know who it's for
My intentions aren't to hurt you or belittle you that I must assure you
But I'm tired of being silenced and only putting in the equation that it's just about one and not about two
My heart hurts man
I miss you as much as I can
I know as we get older life is a struggle
and we've grown apart
And until now I've said "Guess I'll-
Suck it up and man up and accept my part."
But I'm over that
So listen
My love is for always
And always I'll care
At any point no matter what if you needed me (you can't lie) because you know I'd instantly be there
And see that's what hurts and that's not what's fair
I thought friendship was a bond and a pact
And our friendship I would say used to go above that
Into sisterhood I felt like a belonged
Or maybe that's just what I've said to make me feel good
I love you so much it hurts
Don't look to closely at my chest cuz I'm sure I'm bleeding through my shirt
I just don't get how
When someone is quote on quote "is better around"
You desert me in a desert only to drown
You don't look after me now
And maybe you got fed up with me following you around
But I thought being friends meant that we were up for the highs and up for the downs
And maybe I'm taking this way to personal
I think I've been hurt and I think that it shows
It's hard when you give what you can and hope that they get it
Only to find all this time youve been taken for granted
I get left behind
because I can't entertain
I don't fight for attention or to be crazy or loud or insane
And although there's a fondness there I don't see that can end
I guess I expected more of my best friend
Thought you'd come to visit me I'm not that far away
Thought you'd reply to my messages wishing you a good day
It's just messed up and I'm fed up
Being put on the back burner when you decide you need someone who actually gives a crap
I'm more than that I deserve more than that I need to get my rant out now
Because I've never been able to stand up for myself like that
Why? You may ask?
So that I don't make YOU feel bad.
Look I love you and I always will
and maybe you'll wake up one day and realize I was real
In a world of phonies and fakes I gave more then I ever did take
This isn't a goodbye or a farewell
It's a how dare you take advantage of a heart that loves you well
But I can't change it can't make you see
That when chasing the thought to not be forgotten to the world-
You forgot about me.
Know I'll always be here
Know I'll always care
And at big events like weddings or birthdays I hope you'll be there
But my friendship is golden and I just wish you could see-
That your closer than you may think to losing me
More than angry or upset or mad
I how truly feel more than anything- is an overwhelming sad
Wow.. a lot was said that needed to be out there so I guess this should be the end
I treasure the golden moments we had I just think...
That I deserve a better best friend

This poem is not only relatable, but also inspires paranoia on my part, that potentially someone feels this way about me too. It's a bit of a double-edged sword. I like the style it's written in, and it conveys a lot of raw emotion.
I never thought of it as being a double edged sword before Thankyou for the detailed comment I'm glad you felt the rawness of it as it's quite possibly the most personal poem I've written in a while.
