Nothing and Nowhere

Do I even posess,
One real friend?
Laughter rings in
My ears.
Such an absurd
Phrase,
One I once believed to be real,
But now,
One so foreign.

I shall sit,
And pretend to not mind,
Pretend to be above it,
Pretend to be strong,
Pretend to ignore how badly,
It hurts deep down,
Pretend to ignore how badly,
I want real friends,
How badly I want
This bitter loneliness
To end.
I shall pretend,
But as I turn off
The light,
And the darkness fills my room
Muffled sobs echo,
Into the world and beyond,
Each as heavy as the former,
Unable to hide them now.
Unable to turn
A blind eye,
When the loneliness,
Catches up.

God?
Where is my
Real friend?

I'm sorry you feel this way, it's awful to feel like this. But maybe you do have real friends, only you expect more from them. Gtg have dinner now, been on the com for ages. Great poem btw, enjoyed reading it, great great poem.

"My grandfather, on his deathbed, asked me what would be the measure of success in my life when I arrived at the point where he lay now. I raised up the five digits on my left hand and stated that I would be successful if I had this many friends. He smiled a faint attempt through all his pain and responded, 'You better consider yourself at the greatest level of success a man can achieve if you only have this many...'. He slowly raised one single finger, and then he died." This is part of the intro to my book, vamp ~ but you took me back to this place with intensity! This was a great write! And I was listening to Air Supply's "My Best Friend" when I read it, so it even further aided my tears. Kudos, once again!

Wings bruised from turning away in such confined space...Not broken...still healable...still feathered with life, somewhere
