If I could be

by Jennifer RIP Lesthat Hayden   Sep 14, 2007


If I could be the book on your shelf
I would see you everyday
If I could be the shoes on your feet
I would follow you all the way
If I could be the chair you sit on
I would know what things you stand for
If I could be a part of your mind
I would know the things you abhor
If I could be the walls of your home
I would know what keeps you alive
If I could be a part of your heart
I would know of what makes you strive
If I could be the back of your head
I would notice what you ignore
If I could become your picture frame
I would know of whom you adore
If I could be your pencil or pen
I would know what's worth writing down
If I could be the lips on your face
I would know of what makes you frown
If I could be your only best friend
I would know what you want me to
If I could be you for a moment
I would not know of the real you

Just to clear up any confusion that may or may not occur if the end throws you off it means that the person doesn't really see who he truly is. For example: Some very beautiful girls think they're ugly, some smart people think they're dumb. Well in this case this guy just doesn't realize what kind of a person he is. And as for the best friend line it means that he's not into opening his entire life for all to see. Hope I helped clear things up.

*Abhor: Offensive to the mind.

    [: This was cute. I enjoyed the bit about
    the chair, it was very clever. It seemed
    to drone on a bit, and the rhythm flew
    off a few times for me, but all in all,
    a joy to read.

    Take Care,

    If I could be the chair you sit on
    I would know what things you stand for

    :D Jennifer this is excellent!!! Wow! I really think this is one of your best and most unique poems you've written. This is wonderfully penned and the flow was flawless. I think it should be in the friendship category though. I loved the words you used.

    "If I could be the chair you sit on
    I would know what things you stand for "
    ^^ That line is brilliant!

    You have improved so much since I last read your work.
    Excellent job of this. 5/5 because you truly deserve it.

    Keep it up && I added you to my faves =)
