I know that the 3 poems, including this one have all been about friendships, but it's because i cherish my friends more then anything, and to lose a friend is like losing a part of myself, so here's my next poem...

Tonight, when we were sharing our anguish,
I got lost in your eyes.
I feel like I've known you forever.
You reached a part in me that no one has ever come close to;
the part I don't show.
The place I'm afraid to let the world see.
I put on a smile, when I'm screaming inside.
I'm screaming to be let out.
I want to give the world to you.
But I only have love, honesty, and hapiness to give to you.
I've never been given that;
It's only been taken from me.
If I tell you how I feel, we could lose something greater than what we might get.
We could lose our friendship.
So maybe I should just stay back and be a friend.
After all, friendship is the gift of life.

soulfulpoet, You deserve knowing love, honesty and happiness in return for your good heart. There is nothing better to give.
Without some of the friends I have made, I would be so lonely. A lot of them invisible, as I have met them on the net. Blessing, marcy

Lovely poem! You're right, the best part of a true friendship is that we can be ourslves and know we are safe. Ellie
