This poem, is for a friend of mine...I've been having some serious emotional problems, thats why i have all these reccent writtings:

Dreams are smutherd
Dreams are destroyed
I was wrong
Out of my mind

I need some relief
For I am being devoured
By my own belief
I need help desperately

Whys it the one you love?
That never can like you back?
You think she does?
But its all your damn mind

Playing its awful tricks
Just like all the other dicks
Whys it have to be?
Why not you and me?

My beliefs are lies
I thought i saw it
Love in your eyes
Was it only my reflection?

I am confused and lost
I dont know whats true
I am jumbled and tossed
I dont know if its me or you

You know my love for you
I dont expect anything back
But is it you too?
Or is it never to be?

I'm sorry if I am wrong
I'm sorry if I am right
I'm sorry if my love is early
I'm sorry if i over expect

If it cant be
If it wont be
Then tell me please
Will you be a freind?

Love is wonderful
Love is painful
Love is dreadful
Love, is it you?
Love, is it me?

Tell me please if it will ever be
Dont lie please, for I'll only hurt more
Tell me if you wont love me?
I dont need to be hurt, by the one I adore

Truth is beauty
Lies are hateful
Honestey is the key
For the smile in me

If I'm wrong, I promise not to cry
If I'm wrong, please dont lie
If you want this smile
To last a while
Tell the truth

Love strikes hard
And sometimes to fast
Love stays and glows bright
Love will never give up its fight

Maybe I just need to back off
Maybe youre not ready
Either way, your always a friend
Love last, until the very end
Love you as someone i desire
Love you as someone I admire
But always love you, as a friend....

Incredible verse!  A lot to absorb here, many questions, doubts.  All familiar.  Some more uncomfortable than others.  Well done.

Isnt it funny how simple words can speak a whole lifetime worth of meanings...my favorite verse as well...what a write, let the ink flow sweet one!

For in much wisdom is much grief
& he who increases knowledge
    increases sorrow...
                  Eccl. 1:18

Yes as soon as we start feeling those feelings we want the other to share them with us...James
