I didn't really like this one, but I thought I would post it and get other peoples opinion and maybe a few suggestions to make it better.


Some times I wonder what happened,
and why your emotions went away.
What really went wrong between us?
Why did our relationship change?

We used to be here for each other,
now you just lock everything inside.
How can i start to help you,
when you won't even let me try?

How can you expect me to be open?
Tell you what I do with my friends.
There was a time when I would have,
but you put that to an end.

Don't get mad because you don't know everything.
You no longer have that right.
You don't even use it to help me,
just against me when we fight.

Love is a two way street, bro.
and I won't ask you to open up.
Thats where you have to decide.
Just expect me to keep my mouth shut.

So dont worry about all that I do.
You're the one who stopped talking me.
What's mine is mine, the way yours will be your's
For now, thats how it'll have to be.

I really enjoyed reading this poem.  I don't think you need to change it, just keep it the way it is.  I think I have an idea for a title.  "You Turned Away"  I don't know, but I think you can work with it.  Keep your head up always.

Good job expressing how you feel about this person. Once a person has cut you off from them, they need to cut themselves off from you. Or learn to be friend and not try to lord over you.

Thomas

P.S. agree with Jacman on the title. You got my vote.

I loved this poem, so much emotion in it. I think any two of those suggestions will be perect for a title.

Keep up the good work

Waves...amazing hey? Wind blowing over smoothe ocean water creates shear. The longer the wind blows, and the futher the fetch, the more energy gets transferred from the wind to the water. What started off as a breeze 1 000km away, ends up as a glass-faced barrel at some far off beach.

Wow, that hits extremely close to home..I'm going through that very same thing with my best friend right now, and you described it Perfectly.  Great poem, and I agree, I don't think you have to change anything! Keep it up!

This is a great poem and I agree with the others about not changing anything. I was sad to hear you are drifting away from this person. Hope things change for the better soon!!! The ideas for the titles are good too though I think "Keep my mouth shut" caught my eye!!    AAngele
