hey stranger, where have you been?
we used to be best friends.
was is you or me who went away?
you said you would be here to stay.
so where did you go?
or should i already know?
you went nowhere,
but it was me disappeared.
the truth is i'm afraid,
of again being betrayed.
my heart cries out for you
and i know you long for me too!
yet still i stay away
continuing to be afraid.

i am mostly afraid of me.
what exactly do i mean?
honestly, i don't know,
but i'm becoming my worst foe.
i need you now,
i don't know how
to go on in a life of fear.
fearing you won't be so near
the next time i mess up,
behind me when i can't catch up.

only you know all my fears,
the endless nights with endless tears.
and as you look at me
only you can see
the pain i have inside,
the feelings i try to hide.
i will learn to love and trust again,
in the mean time, please, just be my friend.

i wrote this a while back, but it has never applied to my life as much as it does now...i don't know if my heart will heal (or if it should) but i know that it kills me not having this person in my life...and it's only been a day.

This is a good poem. Your heart will heal but everything takes time...patience is of a virtue.

This poem flows like the lyric of a song. The rhyme is real good and the expression jumps out of the words.
Well done.

A life isn't significant except for its impact on other lives.

thanx everybody for responding

i'm going through a lot right now and sometimes i just need to know people are out there!
  emptyness: i hope he comes back to his senses too!!! b/c it's really killing me.
  anonymous: yes, my heart will heal(someday)but i'm not even sure if it should, ya know? sometimes i think maybe it's not supposed to.
  danny: thanx

this is one of my earlier attempts at writing poetry that actually rhymed...i'm glad you liked it. i was sort of afraid i tried to hard to rhyme and that it wouldn't flow -- i'm glad to know it does!

I think your poem is excellent. I hope you will find the strength to go on without this person if you must, and I hope you can eventually find another so special. Very vivid expression of your loss.
