Verbatim

letter to a friend

Please don’t cry, Dear.

I can hear your struggle for breath.

Don’t forget that everyone

Shall someday witness death.

 

One day soon, Dear,

You’ll forget the stabbing pains you feel.

Trust me, I have waited

For my own pains to heal.

 

Maybe you, Dear,

Will transform loneliness to cheer

And mean all the difference

To someone who is near.

 

And if you, Dear,

Hadn’t felt your pain today

They might never have known the love

That you graciously portray.

 

Please don’t cry, Dear.

He’s not worth the tears you spend.

Love is such a valuable thing,

Yet it is so easy to bend.

 

Watch the time, Dear.

If you waste it on the past,

You’ll miss out on what is coming

And is surely soon to pass.

 

Close your eyes, Dear.

Don’t follow what they say verbatim.

Destiny awaits you.

Trust me, you aren’t going to need him.

I like this, I like the message it puts across, or rather, the one I get from it ^^' you know I have a weird way of perceiving things. Anyway. It's original, and creative, yet it's also to the point.
