MGandV Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
