Friend or Love

Something romantic...lolz

As the tears run down my cheek

You hold me closer

And tighter

The grip becomes stronger

Maybe you sense me falling apart

The voice in my head

Keeps telling me to break away

But your words have quietened it

For good

The way you stroke my hair

My world starts taking shape

And we stand there

For don't know, how long

But it feels good

It feels great

The warmth of your skin

Overcomes the cold that has settled on me

The aura of your affection

Has done wonders

Don't you know??

The world will mock me

For if they come to know

They won't accept

That I'm your friend

But you are my love

It's hard enough for me to figure it out

You look like a friend

But you feel like love

Oh! You've got me confused

That explains the childish smile

Which appears on my face

While crying

As I wonder

Who's holding me

My friend

Or my love...

Author's Note

"Is this my lover, or just a friend?"

You look like a friend

KURRUPTED- (BREATHELESS AND SPEECHLESS, HE GARTHERED THE STRENGHT AND SAID) "wow! why is it always like this? alot of us can relate to this, i felt like she was writing about me"

excellent write here siya, believe me you scripted it perfectly because that level of feeling could hardly put in such words, thats why you see all of us commmenting in bits....no one can put that very feeling in writitng.

[*~Imperfectly Me~*]

This is really sweet... a beautiful poem that almost anyone can relate to. This was very cute, I think that sometimes in life the love between friends is greater than any love... anywho... a great poem... with some good descriptions... :)

[Kelsmiles]

Awwww but a friend and a love can and should be one and the same. I know my love is also my best friend.
I really like the way the emotion in this changed from despair to affection and hope. Good writing.

Love is such a beautiful thing and the feelings that go with it take on a roller coaster feel...so up and down. This is heart felt and beautiful Siya! Thank you for sharing such an intimate part of who you are. :-)

Really enjoyed the feel of this poem. It washes over you like a gentle breeze as you read it.

I enjoyed the closing lines:

"As I wonder
Who's holding me
My friend
Or my love...

As to who is holding you, well, does it really matter that it be defined? Love is simply....love. Take all you can get in whatever from it comes.

[Mysteral - Night Prowle..]

A really beautiful poem with that touch of sadness. It is sweet.

As I wonder
Who's holding me
My friend
Or my love...

I hope you find it's both friend and love. Thanks for sending me the read request.

Bittersweet in the confusion, but sweet all the same.

[MandarinOranges]

Once again, you have woven together the words to give us a glimps of your soul. Excellent!
