His gaze has changed forever more; His eyes see me different than before. The thoughts behind those hazel pools Make me wish I hadn't broken the rules. A friend is where he should have stayed My heart gambled and now I am afraid. The friendship that I carefully nurtured Will crumble away, perhaps be ruptured. I heard the words I chose not to believe Thought through time I would achieve; The words my soul had yearned to hear Come from this friend I hold so dear. On the surface it may feel like all is well But underneath is where the troubles dwell. The physical craving still longingly exists But the infatuation has seemed to desist. In my dreams his sweet kisses wash away The doubts that plague me during the day. His brilliant eyes haunt me in my wake Leaving a sense of dread I cannot shake. He asks how it is that he has changed Thoughts and feelings have been rearranged. Where once I thought Hope was best His actions now have laid that to rest. *date of pen 05/26/00* Don't care what people say Just follow your own way Don't give up and use the chance To return to innocence. -Enigma |

Reminds me of a few personal experiences...a woman friend wanted me to change...I suppose she thought that was her duty to change me and make me a better person...I did change and she told me she liked the original better...she was attracted to who I was not who I was to become...sometimes change is hard to accept...James |

This just hit home. I had been there. But I was unable to put it in writing. I thank you for doing that for me and others. Great work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Ronil (What I say I live by and what I live by is what I create). |

Great poem! It is dangerous to try to change people... they are what they were born to be... I've tried to change a friend and he did and gave me the boot... |

thanks for your replies james and xeonex and sven and LM I feel like I have to clarify that the penner of the poem is not trying to change anyone...but trying to discover what HAS changed about the person taht is the focus of the poem... Sven- I know that the more things change, the more they stay the same...Unfortunately, that makes more than perfect sense.  Am I not conveying what I thought I was with this poem? Help me out, k guys? |
