Before I Forget

Before I Forget

A Poem by Laura Harrison

This time last year, you were all that I had

You knew how to make me happy when I was sad

My worries I shared, my secrets I told to you

You were my sister, and you were all that I knew

You stayed my friend through thick and thin

Why did this have to change when you met him?

 

He turned up and turned your life around

But you suddenly put me down

I thought that I could count on you to always be there for me

But you dropped me so easily

 

Now who is there to dry my tears?

Who can I count on to rid of my fears?

Happiness is now just a distant feeling

And I have nothing to believe in

Because you were always the person that I looked up to

Now that you are gone, I don’t know what to do

 

I try to kid myself that I don’t miss you any more

But truth be told, I just want my life back to how it was before

Back when you could always make my problems seems smaller

Back when I actually had a sister

 

A bunch of fading photographs is all that I have left of us

And some long ago memories that are crumbling to dust

Now I am having trouble remembering what you look like

I am finding it hard to be alright

Give me a chance to see your face one more time

Before I forget every crease and line

I want to share my life with you again

Before I forget what it feels like to have a friend

Your words reflect the loneliness very well. This is why I think a person should not invest all their emotions in one person. People need a variety of close friends in their lives, one person can't supply all your needs and on the other hand that's a lot of pressure to put on a friend, a lot of expectation.

Another great poem! Really hit home actually. Ive definitely been down that road before. I feel as though every girl has. To have someone so close to you that was your best friend in the whole world and then their just gone. I wonder myself how people could be so heartless and act as though they never really cared. Totally understand this 100% and what sucks is itll never go away even if its ten years down the road you will still wonder about that person . Im sorry! Im babbling now ! Love this poem! lol
