My Prodigal Sister

I wish I knew what the hell to do... Written about my ex bestfriend... We've known eachother for about 10 years...

 

Can this friendship survive

After I knew it died?

Did I bury it alive

Or was it simply revived?

I hate you, no I love you

I don't know which one's true

 

I'm choking on our memories

I'm gagging on my pride

Can I let an old friendship truly die?

 

You stumbled back here

Now nothing seems clear

So here it goes

My prayer to thee

Please God what don't I see?

 

I don't know if I can do this

So maybe I'll slit my own writs

You're my prodigal sister

But my arms aren’t open

It's a warning sign

For our paths aren’t twined

 

So can I let it revive?

Or let the friendship once again die...

Eesh! Though it's a beautifully written poem, it has so much heartbreak and confusion in it. I know how u feel. Sister and sister, brother and brother, brother and sister...and Marsha Marsha Marsha! lol. There's plenty of fueds when these two dont get along with one another. One's jealous of the other, one wants to be like the other...so, it's hard when stuff like this happens. Every sibling goes thru it. Just hopefully that one day in time everything will resolve normally, so that all will love each other just like at the very beginning when u both were little. Strong, and indeed, an emotional write. Nice job with this :) *Hugs* Great pic of u guys btw ;)

And thus the question marks, clad in their shinny new armors, wielding rubber mallets come to do battle on the same stage.
I would have to agree with DeAn below. You have learned what you don't like about the person, so why not just give it your all and know that you tried your best. The worst has already occured, so that anything that happens can only be better then that.
I see that fear clouds thoughts, for the past can often hold one down like an anchor. Let the past drift into the night, as it should and strive for the future. Either she will stand as a friend or she will drift with the night as well. You are able to walk your path secure, either way.

Just my thoughts little one. :)

you have nothing to lose but what you obviously lost already when she left the first time, so I say love her with all your heart and soul and you will know that you at least, have tried with a true heart and it is up to her to be true or stand out once again as that prodigal child reborn. as for the poem, it is exactly as it is meant to be minus a few spelling errors. very good read and full of emotions.

great write. keep it up.

Your poem is so moving, and though I have no suggestions (about improvement of the poem or situation) this work reveals such a precious friendship that I hope will find a place of healing... It sounds so worth the effort...

This is sad about a friendship that has died. Ten years is a long time.
It's so hard to find a true friend anymore. I suppose it's just so hard to
trust people. I feel that if a friendship was true to begin with then it
can survive, and if not, your path is set elsewhere. Of course this is just
my opinion;).

This is a emotional poem, one felt and understood.

I recently wrote a poem myself that reminds me very much of this exact thing. Sometimes you just have to let things be. I have a friendship right now where I just threw up my hands and sighed... Well, what will be will be.

Just let the person know you are there for them, that is all you can do. Don't ever give up maybe this person will see how much of a gem you are. Cause he will see what he is losing. GIve him space and he will love you for that. For some reason Men like space off and on, just like us women we need our space as well. We all have are alone times. Just let him know you are there for him if he needs you that is what matters.
