Friend

Oh precious friend
Bitter desire
I want to live inside your body
But poison runs your veins
Just for me
I love you
How ironic that you who taught me of the life
Now shows me the death
Of friendship
But hell I’m not a good student
And nobody came to the funeral
Not even you
I miss you
You’re a blind fool
Oblivious to my pain
I take that back
Trying to find the courage
To consider your heartlessness
Maybe you don’t care
I still love you
Romeo and Juliet know only foolish love lasts forever
I’m not a fool
You make me wish I were
I still miss you
You fed me your spirit
And I conformed
Wax melted poured to mold
Like a candle
So then you burnt me
I’ll always love you
My soul is wax drippings
You my maker scraped me away
I am abandoned
I wish you had forgotten me instead
That would have been a calm quiet dead
I wish I were calm
I wish I were quiet
That my emptiness would not shriek at night
I wish I were
But no
I’ll always miss you
Yet you’ll neglect me
And pierce me with your spines
Until I cry heart tears
Because my eyes are too proud
For now
I want you
Oh my exquisite pain

angel?

I know . . .

You fed me your spirit
And I conformed
Wax melted poured to mold
Like a candle
So then you burnt me

These are awesome lines here

What a sad thing to happen. I like the way you wrote this, the structure draws me along through the poem.

Nan (Pilgrim variety)
