I wrote this for a friend who is pretty down right now
I just emailed it to her
I hope she and you all like it
It's been a whi;e but feel free to tear this poem apart

------------------------------------------------------

Let me spend some time
in that hole in your heart
Let me in to mend
all that was torn apart

Let me tell you that
it is going to work out
Let yourself forget
what the pain was all about

Let a friendly voice
fill your heart with love and trust
Let us remember
good things we have amongst us

The hole fills with hate
every time you turn away
And this hate will grow
far to strong for you some day

Please
for me to help
you must let me
I'll love you
always
Jason

Nice poem you have here, Jason.  I enjoyed reading this... I have a few critiques..
The flow seemed to break quite a few times.  I dont exactly know why, but I especially noticed this in the third stanza.  Also, in the last stanza, I thought you could make the lines longer and expand the thought.  And maybe you should keep it 4 lines like the rest of the stanzas.
Well, that's just me being picky.  It's just a few things you might want to consider.
Nice job, and a very sweet thing to send to your friend.  I know your friend will thank you for it, because it's obviously written with lots of care.
Thanks for sharing

Beautiful poem Jason. You sure she's only a friend?

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Thank you every one, I love the replies.

Yeah dopes, we're just friends.  she's been my best friend since about 5th grade.

Fading Away, Thank you for the critiques.  In all actuallity the only verse I really like is the first one but hey that's just me.  I know that the flow at the end kinda sucks, this poem started out just being a letter and then I was like hmmm... and then put into this format.  So it's supposed to read like a poem/letter I guess.  But, yeah right when I lose the 'Let' repetition it kinda changes tones and it's supposed to but I should have expanded it but ummmm just didn't feel like it.  Plus the whole poem was A,B,C,B and I think 5,7,5,7 (or close anyhow) and the last line was like whatever.  But that's where the whol letter/poem thing comes in.  Anyhow thank you so much for reading

Jason

I actually really like the ending of this poem.  i thought that the short lines at the end really served to add power to the poem, but that's just me.  i really enjoyed this, keep posting all your work.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

You rock IsGona!! BUMP UP THE JAMS! Nice poem, im sure she will apreciate it.

Give her two red roses, each with a note. The first note says "For the woman I love" and the second, "For my best friend."
