Hey y'all---veteran PiPmaster here...I doubt ANY of you'll remember me, but hey! Lol Anywho...this poem was written a long time ago. It's for my best friend, she used to be a legend around here...her name is Cherish. Ring any bells? Naw---I didn't think so. Hehe... Anyways, this is accordance to an e-mail I sent her. And in the last paragraph, I said how I truly felt for her---and my realizations, after I'd pressed the "Send" button:

The Last Paragraph-

I think I care for you,
More than just a friend...
But you knowing this---
I fear it may be the end...

You say that you're confused as I,
That you don't know what to do...
But why should I get frustrated?
When I'm to blame...and not you?

I've turned to you, many a time...
And yet, I can't fight off this feeling of dread...
That indeed, sometime soon,
I'm going to loose a friend...

With my luck, you're going to turn away...
Scorn, and hate me...for my mistake,
But again, I don't blame you...
For I was only half awake...

As you read this, I'm hoping...
That you don't get the wrong idea first...
It could just be my pessimistic side---
Which always assumes the worst...

I'm just as confused as you are,
And I feel like I'm writing my own epitaph...
Please tell me...Why? Oh why---
Did you read the last paragraph...?

It's Alex! I mean...who're you?

Cherish, Cherish...sounds juust a little familiar. Who knows, everything's a buzzing whirl of memories these days. Really...I miss that girl, and her poetry too. This is a very raw, honest piece, and the small explanation makes it even more so. I commend you on your openness, Android 17...

I'm glad you posted this. One at a time..

Haha---heya Carly!!! ^_^

Hmmmmm...and yes---Cherish was a great gal. Especially on PiP, she always brought bubbliness ammoungst us depressed teens. Heh---her poetry was great too. It gave meaning to "metaphor"...Heh

But thank you Carly! Thank you very much!

Alex, I like it my man, I like it. Raw, as I believe Carly said, open, unsure and excited and anzious all at the same time. Nice meter, by the way.

You never did email me on how your night went long back when we last talked... did you ever call her the next day?

I have to admit, it's been a while. Seems a bit... off, you know? Not talking. Anyhoo... well done.

Sincerely,
Titus

PS: Tell Cherish hello for me. I miss debating/bantering back and forth with her via exceedingly long emails. *grins*

As I'm out there, walking, searching, for myself, for you.... won't you join me? Let's walk this journey together.

Mmmm... syrup... LOL okay, back to the poem.

As much as my opinion counts, I think this is one of the better poems I've read from you. I'm not saying that the rest of your stuff is bad or anything, but I can't really remember a time when I absolutely HAD to read a poem of yours over and over just because it was so heartfelt and... I don't know... Raw doesn't seem to be the right word for me. It's YOU. I got a glimpse of the you that I haven't seen in a long time when I read this. I'm putting this one in my library. *hugs* for a work well done

Woah---thanks you all. Titus and Rhonda...thanks! (You too Carly) Although only three people came and replied to may poem (this is a NEW low for me -_-v) I'm so glad that it's the people who I know and love...and have helped me through the toughest of times.

Titus-

Thanks for being open about this! Hehe---and nice meter? Heh---and sorry for not mailing you! I've been soooooooo busy with work...and besides, my "ssvegeta" account it now officially dead. All mail shall be sent to "marionetteowl@hotmail.com" okays? Thanks buddy!

And for your own personal information---I never did get around to calling her...she called me! So yea...I got to tell her the conclusion I'd come to!

But yeah...next time you sign onto MSN we'll chat!

Rhonda-

Dearest, Rhonda...I'll wait untill you're done your syrup...

*waits* *waits* *it's done*

Mmm...you really think this is one the better? Awww, why thank you...^_^ But wow...there's not much I can say, except---thank you! Heh---and when you said, "I got a glimpse of the you that I haven't seen in a long time..."---mmmm, that statement doesn't settle right. Looks like I've got abit of soul searching to do.

Thanks y'all!!! ^_^

Delaney, of course you're as great as I say you are! And you havem by fair the MOST potential ANY 12 year old has in poetry! And I DO mean that! *smiles* But just have faith in your poetry...because a poem reflects how you feel, and if what you feel is true---then the poem is true! It will only be good if you beleive it will be!
