You think that I don't understand All the stuff you're going through But I have something to say to that: You won't believe this, but I do. There were times I could be a real [witch] Before I grew up and became "nice." I wasn't like that all the time But sometimes I could be as cold as ice. You seem to think I'm so innocent But if you only knew Everything I've experienced And the stupid stuff I used to do. I know what it's like to screw up Because I've done that as well The only reason you don't know all this Is because you never gave me the chance to tell. I've lied and backstabbed people I'm not proud of it at all. But I made my amends and don't dwell on the past And I found that I could still stand up tall. You need to stop doing all this stuff Do you know how many people you're driving insane? You're hurting yourself so badly There's everything to lose here and nothing to gain. I still care about you That's something I could never not do. Though I don't know why I even bother After everything you put me through. And you always know where to find me. If you need to, hold on to my hand. You don't want it and most likely won't take it But I want you to know that I do understand. ... Always, Elizabeth This is about a friend of mine who is acting like a jerk and making a lot of people mad at him. Howl at the stars, whisper when you're sleeping, I'll be there to hold you, I'll be there to stop the chills and all the weeping. |

Thank you Andrea! I'm glad you liked at, and I'm sure everyone knows what this is like, either because they have done it themselves or know someone who has. It's really hard, I don't want to see him hurt but I have to say he is bringing it on himself and I can't do anything to make him stop. Anyway I'm glad you liked it and understood it. Thanks again. November 15th huh? That's coming up soon. You and the baby will be in my prayers, thanks again!  ~Beth Howl at the stars, whisper when you're sleeping, I'll be there to hold you, I'll be there to stop the chills and all the weeping. |

skyshine, very good writing, honest, just as true poetry always is. I guess we've all done dumb things. I know I certainly have. I wish both you and your friend well. Maybe he'll figure out what it is you're trying to say to him. My best! |

"I still care about you That's something I could never not do. Though I don't know why I even bother After everything you put me through."

Wow! How can I write like you? Did you have anyone help you along your writting career? I am jelouse, lol- ohh well, I guess I just gotta keep writting and learn from myself and others and pick great topics with special meanings behind them. -Tiger (Katreena) ~*I'm not deaf, I'm just ignoring you*~ |

Michael, thank you, I know where you are coming from, like I was just saying in the poem I comepletely understand about doing stupid stuff! Michele, thanks! Maybe these guys are related? lol thanks for understanding. Katreena, that was such a nice thing to say. I have had some help with my writing (namely two REALLY good English teachers I had) but this one was comepletely mine without help. What I do is think of what I'm trying to say in a few lines, then I write them down and make them rhyme. Thank you! to all--Beth Howl at the stars, whisper when you're sleeping, I'll be there to hold you, I'll be there to stop the chills and all the weeping.
