Temporary Friend

by ilikepurple222   Apr 10, 2010


Tired eyes beg for rest,
but my crowded mind denies sleep.
Maybe if I lie here long enough
I'll soon become unconscious.
That would be ideal.

I'm scared you'll forget me;
You have every reason to.
I worry that a friendship is not enough
to hold all the pieces together.
Every day brings a brand new threat.

I'm going through a rough time,
so forgive me, please.
My words may seem harsh,
but that's only because I couldn't call.
When I needed someone most,
I wanted you.
It's not coincidence when you ignore me.

Your disease is loneliness,
while I suffer from a torn and tattered heart.
I noticed they don't match;
Mine was more sincere.
Am I only a temporary filling to the void in you
until someone better comes along
to erase my existence?

    What if you wrote this a bit differently? Like this; Tired eyes beg for rest,
    but crowded minds deny sleep.
    Lying awake long enough,
    I'll become unconscious soon enough
    That would be ideal.

    The rest of the poem I like. The first stanza needs to be a bit more eyecatching. Just try something else, maybe not even what I tried. You'll work it out!

    It was a good writee(: maybe you should have your stanzas have to same amount of lines, but thats only a sugestion. there was strong imagery and good plot to it. all in all, great poem(:
