The Reliable Sort

Song/poem.

The Reliable Sort

 

When all my dreams lie at my feet shattered like my heart

When all the promises are broken and my hope begins to fade

When my second chances have run out and I’m barely hanging on

You alone are the constant reminder as to why I sing this song

 

When I feel like I’m drowning

And I’m at my wit’s last end

When my world is crashing and burning

You know it’s good to have a friend

 

You who is always there to wipe the tears away

You who when I want to die convinces me to stay

And it’s for you and only you that I grabbed this paper and pen

Because you are my reliable, dependent sort of friend

 

I guess I always wanted love, you of all people know that’s true

Honestly I’m surprised you’re still straight after all the corny chick-flicks I put you through

I got my heart broken lots of times for saying “I love you” too soon

I never really thought that I should say it to you

 

You who always hugs me when I cry and says

 “I don’t know what I can do, but I’m sure gunna try,

Because thought I don’t know if I can even help at all,

No matter how high you climb I’ll always catch you if you fall

 

So I commit my thought to words,

And write them down as a bad love song

But after all doesn’t the heart “go on”?

I guess that love just can’t be wrong

 

But then again…

When I tell you no matter how it ends

I’m still I am gunna lose

My old reliable, true love sort of friend

Good poem, although I can tell your sort of reaching for rhymes in places.
"So I commit my thought to words,

And write them down as a bad love song

But after all doesn't the heart "go on"?

I didn't think this was a bad love song, but I see you had to keep the meter.

Are you.....British? Your spelling implies that you are. :) If so, cool! If not, that's okay too. XD Your poem was good, it has good rhythm. Keep it up. :)
