I'll Survive - Exist

Love is a tricky thing when it comes to friends

The one I love, he loves me some,

It hurts a lot and I'm almost done

I'll say it whispered each and everyday,

Figuring maybe he will want to stay,

Then I cry and feel my heart break,

Not much more of this can I take

I love him and I can't deny,

So I'll just sit here hurt and cry

He knows I love him and he wants to be friends,

I can deal with this, but is it the end?

He hears me but doesnt' say it back, he won't even look me in the eye,

Yet I struggle on as inside I die.

it's a heartbreaking emotion that is so honestly and brutally captured in the verse! the narrator's struggle the push and pull is palpable in your words and so starkly conveyed.....it comes through like a dull ache....one that seems to have no resolution or end....

Sad poem Stacy. I think its time to drop the bloke and get yourself a handsome dude like me. lol. More that likely if he sees you are moving on he will come a runnin. then its your turn.

It takes power and courage to carry on when all else is in disarray xx

A very sad poem. When love is not returns can brake us down. A powerful poem. The emotion of sadness is strong in your words. A sad ending. A excellent poem.
