You call yourself my friend, But you never see my tears. You call yourself my friend, Yet you still don't know my fears. You call yourself my friend But you never see seem to see the burden that I'm bearing The pain inside of me. You call yourself my friend, yet sometimes when we meet, you act as if I am a stranger passing on the street Sometimes existing is so hard I think my life will end, I need you then But you're too busy Calling yourself my friend. |

Morefiah, this is sad to me. Sometimes true friends get so busy with their own personal lives that they neglect to see the needs of their friends. This is a very well written poem and has my vote.  Hugs, Ethel |

This is so true. Especially at the down times, do we need our friends. A good reminder, for sure. But, you know, I have different kinds of "friends", some 'fair weather ones'....who don't have a clue about what I am about....so important to know ahead of time who you can count on. I keep them all, for sometimes, ~being a friend~ to those who really are not, might rub off! Enjoyed this insight. Hugs, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Its sad, when people consider themselves too high, or whatever, to understand others.. Sometimes, though, I think they are the ones hurting the most. I'm just glad I know who I can count on, and who can count on me. True write oh, and, in this line "But you never see seem to see" shouldn't that just be never seem, without the first see? Always, Alyssa - And so it was that time stood still - |

 (big hugggsssssss) I think the true friend would stop saying one is your best friend and be there to prove one is your best friend! (sad sigh) I send angel hugs your way in hoping everything is alright, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Morefiah, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

quote: ~*~ I have met folks like these; quite possibly I'm this person, too... it's not someone I mean to be but the world has had me fooled... it tells me that I have the time to befriend a friend in need and then it takes me far away to fulfill another's heed... forgive me until I can return and give my thoughts to you... for I am only human, and I do what I can do... ~*~ Thank you, morefiah, for allowing us to think on this, to give possible answers as to why we cannot always be everywhere we would like to be, 24/7... this was Very good!
