I just wrote this five minutes ago, because of the harsh reality of facing something I haven't in months, the loss of my best friend.


you where my friend,
my only confidant,
and this is what i do.
I can’t get the feeling of my skin
of what i did to my kin
the thoughts to my head can’t get in
then coming like a freight train
the thoughts flood my brain,

Why did i do her?
shit,
why did i do it?

You said she didn’t mean a thing
no love did you bring
to this little fling.
and her words to my ears
took away all my fears
and your rage grew stronger
for me, your brother
who took the woman you called lover.
but i didn’t know it.
you didn’t express it.
why did i do it?

You have my condolences on the loss of your friend, and my heartfelt sympathies for the quilt you obviously feel. Either is a tough burden to bear. Together, they must be terrible.

I would suggest, however, this poem is better suited to the Open Poetry forum. I don't think you're really looking for a critique of the work, not with a poem you knocked off in five minutes and didn't bother to spell check. I understand that your feelings are genuine and you're trying to express those, and I think that's great. I even think you've succeeded to a large extent. In the Open Poetry forum, you'll find a venue to share your feelings and get feedback on the honesty of your sharing. And I think that's probably what you want more than a "Critical Analysis."
