Someday I'll forget

Words strike out light thrashing lighting, pour like driving rain

I can't stop them as they lash at you, it's like I've gone insane

I ramble and I rant as tears stream from my eyes

You stand there and you take it, you listen to my cries

So stoic and so peaceful, you stare into my soul

The heart you knew as warm and soft is now as black as coal

In your eyes you're innocent, you don't know why I scream

You have no idea what you've done to me, how you've been so mean

You never knew my feelings for you, how I loved you with all my heart

Then she came along, my best friend, she tore us both apart

I know it's not your fault, and you were never mine

I have no right to be mad, I will get better in time

You still have no idea why I'm sad every day

You still just have no clue why I say what I say

But you're a perfect match, you and my best friend

I hope everything works out, I hope for a happy end

I'll find someone someday who wipes away my tears

I'll find someone someday who scares away all my fears

So live your life so blissfully unaware, not knowing what you've done

Someday I'll forget how I thought you were the one

Wow, thank you so much! I usually only write poetry in the moment. When I'm feeling that certain way, so it spouts from a real place. Thank you so much for the compliments!

You are so good for your best friend!
I am impressed by your lovely gesture for her and your loved person.
I should not dissect your epic poem to show the most favorite lines.
The whole piece is wonderful.
Congratulations!!!

i was first attracted to your pages because of your name. back in the 70's a group called the allman brothers did a song called "in memory of elizabeth reed" upon further scrutiny i was impressed by your writing style and i must say that you do, indeed, have a gift. thank you for being a part of writerscafe!

It's funny you say that, because I was named after that song. Only my name is Elizabeth Rose. My mother wanted my middle name to be Reed, but her and my father agreed it would be too obvious I was named for their song. But I like Reed better, so I use that. =) And thank you very much! It means a lot to me that you'd say that.
