Yucky...I don't think I've written a commendable piece in the past 6 months! It's that "unmentionable" thing acting up again.(wb) Ugh!
                                              Vreni

Compatriots of late, that has gone and passed
You distanced yourself, run from your past.
The blame on my head, a crown of twisted thorns
The threads that bound us together now old and worn
You cannot fathom me, for I am inadequately complex
I'm everything you're not, my very being you does vex.
My presence exasperates you, I outshine your star
I am not fraudulent, a masked doll, as you are.
I perceive the inconspicuous, what your senses sense not
I see our fates, though you fail to recognize the plot.
Alas, I was willing, able, and innocently eager
To forge a truce, a peace, perhaps a friendship meager.
But friendship's sail has been slashed, it's boat foundered.
Dashed upon the rocks of hatred, camaraderie floundered.
Within a storm of replaced sentiments, the hatred swirled,
Waves of pure jealousy, the winds of resentment whirled
Torrential downpours of insecurity perpetually rained
Blown sidelong by gusts of affection too long feigned.
In it's wake, this tempestuous squall left a survivor lone
Abhorrence of such might it's existence you dare not intone.
So silently you'll plod forth, in the ensuing calm
Purposely ignore reality, and pretend nothing is wrong.

Woah, big words there.  I don't think I understood most of it, but if I'm correct you're talking about friends.  This was a good poem and i look forward to reading more from you, except maybe next time, make the words not so big... j/k

This is a great piece! I loved the way that you made the emotions into forces of nature. The message was pure and clear and the way that you described every emotion was brilliant.

Great work!

Great poem...absolutely fantabulous  

I feel exactly this way...keep it up

Waves...amazing hey? Wind blowing over smoothe ocean water creates shear. The longer the wind blows, and the futher the fetch, the more energy gets transferred from the wind to the water. What started off as a breeze 1 000km away, ends up as a glass-faced barrel at some far off beach.

This is excellent. The storm image you used is so full of emotion, expressing what you feel so well.
And I can truely understand what you're going through...I've a feeling that 'storm' is gradually approaching a person and me, actually when I read it again...maybe it's already happened...we've grown so far apart.
I love the line:
"I am not fraudulent, a masked doll, as you are.
I perceive the inconspicuous, what your senses sense not"

Keep it up(whether or not it;s your 'best', it's always excellent!!     )

Esp - thanks for your lovely compliments! Indeed, the topic is sour, but alas, at least poetry allows me to constructively express myself. :.)  Thanks again for replying!
