Not Enough


I have so few friends
Most don't even know eachother
They've never met
Or they don't get along
They live so far away from me
Yet so close to home
I try my hardest
To see them all in awhile
But some need more attention
And others don't get it at all
There isn't enough of me
To go all around
So no matter how much i care
No matter how much i hurry
I'm going to let someone down
I've let so many down
Disappointed and crushed
That I can't help but feel down with them
While I try to bring them around
They warm back up to me
And forgive and forget all the trouble
But when I let down and disappoint the one I love, everything is double
I can't be everywhere at once
Nor at everytime
But I try my hardest
To make everyone feel loved
I love all of my friends
Even the ones that drive me insane
But how do I apologize
To the one so dear to me?
I've let her down, just as the others
She says don't worry about it
I'm only awaiting her fury
How can I make amends
I've found the perfect gift
Price doesn't matter for me
As long as I have enough
My plans for my long deserved vacation
Have been thrown all askew
I take one look at her face
And I discover I'm doomed
She tries to comfort me
That everything is fine
I can see right through the mask
I know she is mad
I have disappointed her again
I feel crushed
I start to think the love she felt is no more
I could not help the time I arrived
I came as fast as I could
Like a bat out of hell
But I was too late
I know not what she feels
I know not what she thinks
But what I do know
Is mine own mind
I can remember
After you left
How I stood amongst strangers
And cried out my fears
I scream out to the crowd
They look on in awe and wonder
I ignore them all
My only goal is a glass mirror
I reached that goal
In the back of our planned meeting place
And take a look at myself
And my sad, sad face
I had never seen myself
So totally crushed
I came under control
Though the tears wanted to flow
My emotions barely concealed
Always on the verge of crying out
I didn't want them to know
My friends were there to comfort some
But they abandoned me soon
Twas' not their fault
They have other obligations to do
I want to isolate myself
Want to cry at my own disappointment in myself
And wonder if my sweetheart was true
But I stay anyway
Without the people I planned
And convince myself
That she may truly have given one more chance
So I look for hours
It's six thirty now
I hope she loves what I give her
To show her my love
My apology will be Christmas
I hope her fire will be rekindled by then
I didn't know what to say
I didn't kow what I could do
All I could say was "I'm sorry"
I hope she knows me true
But I have to wait and hope
That again she will say
Those magic words that mean so much to me
Those three little words that I could never say enough to her -
I love you

I know what it's like to be jerked around by different "groups" of friends, so I can relate to that part of this poem. I hope everything works out for you and this person that you obviously care for. Keep up the good work!
