A LETTER TO MY FRIEND

Hello my friend,
I have come tonight to talk to you.
How have you been has your life been true?
Do you have a minute to listen to my broken heart?
To tell you the truth, it hasn't been very smart.
All my life I have loved too much with little in return.
But this last one...I don't think I can handle the burn.

You see, he came into my life when I needed it most.
And now it seems like he was just a ghost.
I sit here reaching out to you with weeping eyes;
Hoping that his wonderful way wasn't all lies.
Please don't say to get over it like everybody else,
Because then I couldn't possibly live with myself.

I keep hoping that he doesn't hate me and that he does agree;
But then reality smacks on my head and forces me to see.
It tells me that my heart fooled my gullible eyes;
He said all the right things and pretended to be nice.
Friend, I thought he cared about me but that was just a trick;
Still now, I miss him so much that I make myself sick.

You see, he never heard it from me because I was scared;
So I will share it with you because this pain I can no longer bare.
I had never met a man with such incredible strength;
To be able to keep someone that loved him at arm's length.
Let me just say, he was a man of many traits;
But now it is me that he absolutely hates.
Numerous times he made me laugh acting silly like he does;
I, feeling heavyhearted was the cause.
His glances and stares went through my soul;
And my heart, he did always and forever console.
The ironic thing is, in my heart, I have loved many another,
But the truth is, I loved and adored him, like no other.

So tonight, I bring my tears to share with you,
To talk about this pain that I can't construe.
Let me repeat, he was a man of many traits;
But now it seems that is me, which he hates.
At one time, his glances went through my soul;
And my lonely and afflicted heart, he did console.

I wish I could talk to him without his disgust,
And tell him that all this...was unjust!
If he wanted to get rid of me he did it just right;
He acted angry, fed up and optioned a fight.
Be assured, I will never forget the talks we had,
And because of this I am so sad;
Now, only one question lingers in my mind;
Why does he hate me, the answer I'll never find?

Thank you my friend for listening to this old fool;
I will always remember him in everything I do.
Mostly, thank you for listening to this pain in my heart;
Now I will say goodbye, I must depart.

Sincerely,
Brokenhearted
