I once met a friend�

Just some poetic angst... :)

 

 

 

 

I met a friend

And made a stranger

I feared the safety

Loved the danger

 

A larger fool

In this little world

Thought I was a man

Till I met this girl

 

Walking as a child

I now crawl as a man

To think up nothing

And think nothing of a plan

 

Laughing in my tears

And frowning in a smile

Stay as far as you like

Why don’t you go for awhile

 

We move so still

And run in place

I see an outsider

When I look at my face

 

I once met a friend

And now she’s a stranger...

What muddles, conflicts, we see in the small private world of our minds..

I'm not sure if I've understood the meaning behind your poem is , but the above words are how I see it.

There's strong emotion, strong feelings of the opposite being a reverse of the reverse, as if there are doubts and actions that aren't what you're feeling, seeing...

We move so still
And run in place
I see an outsider
When I look at my face

I can understand that, i think.

Thank you for sharing these finely created intense and quite sad words

Wow, this was a very intriguing poem. The contradictions held firm to the feeling one gets when a friend becomes a stranger. I know it myself, one of my best friends changed completely when he met his current girlfriend, and he and I haven't talked since actually. Ah well, happens sometimes I suppose. One can always make new friends right? Just remember previous friends fondly.

This is such a sad poem. Life is a b***h don't ya think? Pity things happen like they do. I have the same problem. I had a guy who was the best friend I ever had, until he decided that that wasn't quite what he wanted anymore. Hurt me like hell. But hey, Life's a b***h I guess... Sorry this happened to a great guy like you...

This is sad Craig! :( Not what I am used to seeing from you. Angst, indeed. I like the simple rhyming of it. But the end made me want to cry. So poetically beautiful.
