Death. Red blood, sharp cornered, cornered in the middle death.
Life. Red roses, hands open, reaching towards the sky death.
Happy flowers scattered 'round.
Despair of sadness sticks to the ground.
Black marble drags the drumbeat on while mockingbirds and sparrows sing sadly along.
Your hands are open. Reach towards me. Things don't have to be how the seem to be.
You don't have to mourn.
You don't have to bleed.
Listen. Listen. Listen to me.
Please.
Please listen to me. Please stay here. I beg, I beg, I beg of you, my dear.
My dear, dear friend. My dear, dear friend.
Don't be sad. Okay, you can. But don't be sad forever, man.
I know your heart is broken. I know it's shattered in two. I know I can't say much to comfort because I have a boyfriend too.
I just wish... That you could see.
I wish you could see how much you mean to me. I love all my friends, this is true.
And you are my friend. So I love you!
I know that you are broken. And the future seems unclear. I know that it may suck right now. You thought it wouldn't get here.
You thought you had a chance. Believe me, I'm sure you had some.
But this girl, this mutual friend of ours, right now she's not the one.
Right now, for you, she's not any of the ones that you may date or be with for as long as forever may take...
I'm really, really sorry. And I hope you don't stay sad.
And I have hope because I believe that things won't stay this bad.
I saw a shadow of a smile on your face!
I saw you start to grin!
I saw I saw I saw I saw ... but I'd like to see it again...
I kind of know the way you feel. For I have felt things similar too...
I know, at least, I'm scared--always--of these things going through you.
Rejection. Loss. That someone will take it away before I get the chance. I have a plan, but what if then it's ripped right out of my hands?
I rip my hands and fingers too. I rip and tear at my heels.
I rip at my toes, and before I know it, it's bleeding. This is for reals.
It's not so bad, no, nowadays. It's not as bad as it was.
But still sometimes I bleed.
And sometimes.
I need.
A friend, like you.
And sometimes I cry.
And sometimes. I feel like I've died.
And sometimes I need.
A friend, like you.
A hug from you. Or a hug given to you. Just as the case may be.

wow..intense emotions here for sure...and good he has a friend like you who really cares and wants to help..that's what friendship is about, about understanding and encouraging and loving, sharing emotions and just being there when the other needs a shoulder to cry on..
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! That's my favorite thing to write about: intense emotions. They just pour out of me and it feels so good afterwards. :)
Deletevery nice....thanks for sharing all your words
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it. :)
DeleteWow, wow. I don't really know what to say, except that this is amazing. It's not really my style of poetry (I tend to make my lines shorter), but that doesn't mean it's not good, not at all.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember if I told you about this site before or not, but I think you should check out TeenInk.com, to post your poems up. I think you'd like it :)
Just out of curiosity (if it's okay to ask this), who were you writing this too?
*hugs the not-so-single kitty* You never need to ask for a hug, and if you need to cry, let it all out <3
Awww thanks!! ^_^
DeleteI thought you would like it. :D
Hahaha you probably HAVE told me about that before. I will definitely make sure to go check that out now! Yes, of course, it is perfectly fine to ask. I might not have told you about it if I didn't care to tell you who it's to. I'll email you, okay?
*GREAT BIG HUUGGLE TIME!*
I will! I always forget that I can ask for hugs from people, including you! I need to remember that. :))
Here, have a kitten *hands a kitten over*.
<3
Whew! You do a good job of getting your feelings on paper.
ReplyDeleteKeep it up.
=)
Thank you!!! =D
DeleteI will keep it up! I stopped for a while, but I forgot how much I loved it. And then getting comments from people makes it that much better. I love it. <3
Yes indeed. A few hugs ease a lot of troubles. Better for the heart than beta-blockers.
ReplyDelete:)))) he feels better now. He told me the hugs really helped him, too. I'm just curious, what are beta-blockers?
DeleteI especially like "cornered in the middle death"...great write...
ReplyDeleteThank you! Your comment made me actually look at that line differently than I had before! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
