Friend

The way I wish for one true friend

Tell me what its like to have a friend,
For I have never had that boon.
To walk with you till the very end
And laugh with you like a loon.

To be able to share your life's moments,
To be able to share your pain,
To be able to receive someone's comments,
And to help you stand up again and again.

I can only wish I had a good one,
For all these long and tiring sixteen years,
I just realised I have had none
To  hold my head and wipe my tears.

I sometimes wonder if its me
Who wears a mask and covers my heart
But still no one in this world could see
That I'm suffering truthfully.

I have many who call me a friend today
Whom I hardly know, merely like and scarcely believe in.
All I want is a friend who I can be true and happy
And may be I'm meant to have none.

Yes this pain will never go away
Unless this one true friend who could embrace
And lead me all the way,
Should come and smile to this sad face...

I like this one, but I feel like you've been chained too tightly to the rhyming and the word choice could have been better if you didn't need to rhyme. Over-all however, it's a very good poem.

Riveting, honest, heartfelt, and real. So many lines took my breath away. Especially:

Yes this pain will never go away
Unless this one tre friend who could embrace
And lead me all the way,
Should come and smile to this sad face...

Beautiful
