taylor's poem

currently i'm working on a poem about my relationship with my best friend. it's challenging, because it's difficult to find the exact right words to explain what we've been through and what she means to me. but this is what i've gotten so far.

You and me, we’re all we’ve got,
Watching everyone we love falsify their thoughts.

Tracing back the merciless months,
I know ‘em like the back of my hand-
The unbearable desolation we tested firsthand.

There’s diamonds in the dirtiest places,
And stars in the blackest skies,
Devastated outcomes revealing the mightiest ties.

It’s been a long time getting up from such,
Testing ourselves and everyone we see,
Challenging them to disagree,

With what we’ve crafted of an old friendship,
Sending them sailing on a distant guilt trip.

The way I see it we’ll never look back,
And if we do it’ll be the slightest peek,
Only to recall our great triumph streak.

The road’s obstructed with opposing declarations,
But it’s so bright that I can see through the breaks,
And let me tell you it’s beautiful in spite of the mistakes.

It’s so distressing to attempt this alone,
Still you’re keeping my feet on the ground but my head in the clouds
The paths are taking our lead, we won’t follow the crowds.

We’ve raised and dragged each other this far,
Breaking and scraping to get where we are.
