My Ally

My Ally

A Poem by Hunter Hoburg
"

A song I wrote for my friends who won't come back

"

I’ve transformed to what you thought I’d never be

I rethink the way I think and the things I choose to see

I am born again

I could still be your friend.

Why do you still not help yourself

When you’re down in this mess and you know

I can’t bring you out

Of your helplessness.

 

My ally

My ally

My ally

Ally of mine

 

Some say I’m a saint and they say you’re a spore

For the neglectful nature that runs this world

You do it to yourself

They put you on the shelf

 

Above my ally

Ally of mine

 

Have I ever told you that I love you?

Do you love me too?

Have I ever told you that I love you?

Do you love me, do you?

It’s not that I’ve got nothing to live for

It’s that I lost everything I would die for

Did I ever tell you that I love you?

Do you love me too?

 

I never got to tell you that you were my only friend

The perfect one who’d take me to the end and never

Send me away;

I won’t forget this day.

 

My ally

My ally

My ally

Ally of mine

It's always about the pain of losing the love of your life. But there is in fact nothing greater, than the pain of losing a friend. And if I may quote Elizabeth Bishop "the art of losing’s not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster."
I enjoyed every second of it. Nicely done! :)

I love it,
"It’s not that I’ve got nothing to live for
It’s that I lost everything I would die for"
Hit it home for me

this was beautiful...the repetition was striking, just as in a melodious song (can't wait for you to add music and compose it!!) .."I never got to tell you that you were my only friend,The perfect one who’d take me to the end and never,Send me away;"- I loved the emotion, pain hidden in these lines...entirely this was a delicate and soft dedication straight from the heart!lovely!

Amazingly written...love the use of the repetition...makes the piece seem so lyrical...but at the same time it isn't a tiring overdose...tugs at the heart string...and the use questions is a very very smart move...the emphasising all silent emotions...beautiful

You never forget true friends... I like the flow of this piece. The repetition creates a rhythmic feel as if it were a song. You have written this with heartfelt emotions. Nice write.
