The Day Our Friendship Died

[MGandV]

You were my friend

From a long time ago

We always had something to talk about

We shared a few laughs

We shared each other's dreams

We shared each other's hopes

We shared each other's pain

We shared a friendship that was one of a kind

I was all ears when you needed me to listen

I always knew you would listen to me too

The advice

The opinions

You allowed me to care

And I knew you cared too

It was all sincere

Although I felt something more

I understood

That knocking on that door would never let me in

So Inever knocked for fear

It would only ruin what we've got

But I treasured that friendship so dearly never-the-less

You listened to my fears

You listened to my tears

You listened to my confusion

You listened as I explained my misfortunes

How you could ever stand to listen I would never know

But you did, and I thank you

I trusted you

I trusted that you would never hurt me intentionally

You trusted me

And you knew I could never hurt you

We trusted each other to never lie to each other

We put our trust into each other's souls

I thought I could open up a part of me

You asked and I let you in

So freely

So trusting

So full of hope

That I could share a part of me and have someone think

"I like that part of you"

What a wonderful escape

To be able to share that part of me

That which I lock up inside from fear

It helped me to open up

And write the things that I feel

So free

But I went tot far

And said too much

And felt too much

I wrote too much

How could I do that?

Jeapordize something as wonderful as a friendship

Now I know what I've done

What I opened up

Was just too much for you to handle

And you knocked me down with one blow

Never again can I freely feel

"Feelings are meant to be kept inside, you know"

Is that the moral of my lesson?

Or must I pick and choose cautiously which feelings to express

Or even pick and choose cautiously who to feel for

But I never thought I'd be punished or beaten down

and bruised and kicked around

For what I feel inside of me

Those feelings, which are my own and belong to me

Inever knew feelings could be a threat or harmful

to those you feel for

So I learned a great lesson

About friendship and being a friend:

Don't say too much

Don't give too much

Don't express too much

Don't feel too much

Unless you are ready to give it all up

But this lesson I have learned on the day

The day our friendship died.

 

 

Not all poems rhyme. I like to write too. I wrote to a friend I thought I lost because of a few caring words I said in an email to her that she completely took the wrong way. She had been going through some kind of problems with her boyfriend.(We had been friends for a very long time and was always there for each other when things were not so great.) Well, her boyfriend found out what I said to her and didn't like it. So he wrote back to me and mentioned that this friend wants me to stop emailing her and that she no longer wants to continue a friendship with me. Of course I was hurt. I later found out she wasn't really mad at me and everything he said was not true.
