FRIENDS????

pulled from experience with a touch of reading current broken heart poems

It's funny really in the end

that you should try to be my friend

cause friends are people you can trust

and trust is not a part of us

 

Lies you gave were meant to be

a way you could hold on to me

and your lying only makes me wonder

at the spell you had me under

 

You took my heart, stole my dreams

and quickly tied me to your schemes

I found myself turned around

confused and hurt but tightly bound

 

Guess I believed, although it's sad

I wanted something I never had

To be loved and cherished for who I am

but you my dear had other plans

 

In the end when I could finally see 

I took the knife to set me free

released myself from your selfish bonds

never again to be preyed upon

 

So don't ask me to believe in you

and be a friend, tried and true

I know a trap, you taught me well

I'll gladly tell you to go to hell

WOW, this is the first poem that I read by you and it made me laugh. Don't we all have someone in our lives that needs to hear this very poem? HA! Cheers, lea

Burn me once--shame on....well almost everyone knows how that goes. The meter and rhyme in this poem are excellent, as is the wisdom of its words. A very good job, Driven.

On one hand, I would love to send this to my ex. Yet on the other hand, I can think of at least one young woman who should send it to me.

I can see it so clearly. What I was, what I decided not to be, but what Karma had not forgot I had been.

I like how you get to the specifics in this poem. It's not your regular heart broken poem. You do a good job of describing what this person did. You don't use clich�s except for the last line. I know it's a good line, but I think you can do better on the last line.

This poem is very well written! I love the flow and the energy and the passionate rhythm.
Nice ink!

I don't have anything original to say. I love the rhythm and emotion in this poem, but that's true of the other poems I've read by you. :)

I can relate to this
Being told " you are the love of my life ", until you stick your neck out to its limit,
just to have your head cut off and handed back to you
I think is worse that never being loved at all
Well penned

Fabulous! I love the flow on this piece. It is so full of anger and justly so. Whenever someone betrays your trust, it creates this anger in you that burns you to the core. I could feel that emotion right from the onset. Great write!
