Trust me, my friend...

A poem for a great friend and a wonderful person...

I whispered: trust in me, my friend,

can’t you see we’re more than our sins,

but we have to begin to open up

so let me in.

 

You say you don’t think you deserve it,

that any love that’s worth it, won’t fit

in with your life, so you forget,

-hope and you desert it.

 

But you’re beautiful, in the way you speak,

-and yet somehow, you feel weak,

drawing your outline in chalk,

you shut down, you don’t talk

you’ve stopped trying to seek.

 

But you’re able to inspire,

-you’re able to take my thoughts and lift them higher

forming an ivory spire of hope and I won’t tire,

my only desire that I see you smile.

That you realize, that though it may be a while,

you’ll find everything you want.

Everything you deserve.

You’ve been down on the road of life,

but you’re coming to the curve,

the end of strife.

 

I whisper: trust in me, my friend,

can’t you see we’re destined to win?

Open up to hope, you must begin

to trust in me.

There’s so many things I want you to see.

Yes, this world is full of hate, but if you believe in fate

you must believe me when I say, its never too late.

How beautiful. How blessed that person must be to be cared for like that :)

This difficult to open up... Trust me... Because I'm like that...

"you feel weak,
drawing your outline in chalk,
you shut down, you don’t talk
you’ve stopped trying to seek."
That's how I feel...
I think the last line should be had instead of have since you used stop in past tense...

"you’ll find everything you want.
Everything you deserve."
Questions always have an answer right???

"Yes, this world is full of hate, but if you believe in fate
you must believe me when I say, its never too late."
Yes... Everything is never too late...
Sp here's my question...
Do you believe that everything that happens in a person's life is all because of fate or all because of their choice???
Which side are you in??? Fate or Choice???

[MachinaWriter]

I believe fate puts us in places where we can make a choice. They're called opportunities. That's my view, at least.

[Meallea Pomorette]

That's a really quick answer...
I'm still trying to figure out that one because sometimes people tend to defy fate...
I'm only 15 and I think I'll have my answer to it someday...

[MachinaWriter]

There's two key elements to finding answers. You have to be seeking them. And you have to know the question.

[Meallea Pomorette]

I agree with that... But it's like a chain... Question are always related and another one will pop out when you're done with the other...

[MachinaWriter]

If they didn't come that way, we wouldn't have questions. Without questions, there's no mystery to life. And without mystery there's nothing to seek. Nothing to dream about. We wouldn't have art. We wouldn't have creativity. We'd have nothing. We need questions. Pray they keep coming, for when we have all the answers, it will be our end.

[Meallea Pomorette]

I really like your point of view...
(^_^)

[MachinaWriter]

lol Thank you. Took years of making mistake after mistake to reach this mindset lol

[Meallea Pomorette]

I see...

[NANCY MCCORMACK]

wonderful! trust can be a very difficult thing and you have hit the nail on the head!

[MachinaWriter]

Thank you ^^ This was written for a good friend of mine. It can be difficult for a lot of people to open up. Sometimes you just have to let them know you're there and then sit back and be patient.

[NANCY MCCORMACK]

you are a very good friend

[Anonymous Girl]

Amazing!! :)

[C.C. Marx]

A very sweet tribute I hope they know how much you appreciate them :)

[MachinaWriter]

Thank you. The person deserves to know they're important.

[C.C. Marx]

Your welcome and I completely agree sometimes its hard to let someone know how much they mean to you, you know?

[MachinaWriter]

I agree, 100%

[C.C. Marx]

So some people do it in the only way they know how: writing a poem

[MachinaWriter]

Sometimes, its the best way. A poem can describe the way the heart feels like nothing else. You can tell something to someone in a regular conversation, and they'll think they understand. The true nature of the emotions behind it, however, sometimes can only come out through things like poetry or music.

[C.C. Marx]

And I agree with that 110% I'm not good with words in the since of being that kind of emotion, I wouldn't know how to tell someone that I appreciate them

[RachelReaper]

this was a poem that filled me with hope, hope that someone thought that about me.

[MachinaWriter]

Always keep hope.
