Experiencing lately so many
examples of one too many
expired day one friends .
Excused themselves for
Exposing their stage selves
Ex-friends playing pretend
expect an end with them.
Exceptional in their betrayal
excuses they give, but I don’t bend
Exhibiting my wrath with no regrets
Expressing loyalty is what they all seem to forget
Expecting for most to become snakes
Excess of so many lifelong friends turned fakes
Except, I’m savage in my damage
extinguishing all their flames
Exaggeration was their aim
Excelling in a ” woe is me game”
Excited to nix the sheep, never
Execution is how you will be
exited from my life forever
Exhausted, but I keep taking more names
Exhilarating it is tossing more foes into flames
Expiration of companionship, what a shame!
Existence has now become our distance.
Existentialism are my thoughts to blame.
Exchanging being pissed off to acquiring bliss
Ex-friend, you won’t be missed
Exhausted I am but I’m all I’ve got.
Exiled all the liars in one shot

My poetic hats are off to you for finding so many E-words that all cohort around the theme of broken relationships between friends. I relate to this poem on so many levels, because I often feel like friend relationships are overlooked in literary genre or theme. I love the clear cut flow of this piece and despite the structured rhythm in this piece, there was something incredibly Emotional.
Thank you! Much appreciated, it’s something I’ve experienced one too many times, failed expectations. I heard before if you never have expectations of people you will never be disappointed.
Yeah, that is true, but it sounds pretty lonely. Sometimes you have to open yourself up to pain. And yeah it is going to hurt, but you never know if you could find that one person who sticks next to you forever. Sometimes friendships lead to disappointment, but what about the ones that don’t?
On the other hand this is a great piece, and you clearly put a lot of effort into it.
I have friends that still are loyal 20 some years and running now, I value my oldest friend more than my own blood sister sadly. Foremost Thank you for the kind words. This is one of my favorite pieces. Honestly, I wrote this in like 10-15 mins, revised it twice. I wanted all “ex” words. Had trouble finding a few that went together but other than those few small detours, it was rather easy to write.
