Bad Luck

by elise   Jul 18, 2006


I've had friends that loved me,
and friends that were so kind,
but now they have disappeared,
somewhere along the hands of time.

Is it something that I do?
that makes them fall away,
or is it just some bad luck,
that changes the love of day?

Often I think of 1st grade,
when I thought I knew my friend so well,
but she lied to me and rejected me,
and all I can do now is tell.

Then I think of 4th,
when times seemed just so fair,
but that failed me sometimes too,
and so do the clothes I wear.

And 7th was the charm,
when all of the ones I trusted left,
and there was only one friend I had,
and it's her that I call best.

So I sometimes I have people,
but mostly I just see,
that most of things that happen,
just all seem meant to be.

Perhaps it is bad luck,
or maybe just pretend,
but I know that they all know,
this is what they can never mend.

    Hmm. I'm not sure about the last lines on every single stanza. Except the first stanza. That entire stanza was perfect:

    I've had friends that loved me,
    and friends that were so kind,
    but now they have disappeared,
    somewhere along the hands of time.

    Mm. I do like the "hands of time" thing for some reason.

    Nice try, but in my humble, no-good opinion, needs work. It's between "fair" and "good," with the potential for "excellent."
