Recollections Withdrawn From a Tear Stained Memory.
I thought you were my friend
So I gave you the sun.
You took the flames
And burned my soul.
I thought you were my friend
So I gave you the ocean.
You took the salt
And sprinkled it in my wounds.
I thought you were my friend
So I gave you the wind.
You took the frigid gales
And extinguished my spirit.
I thought you were my friend
So I gave you my broken heart.
You took the two halves
And broke it once more.

Thank you for all the encouragement! ;)
wow!!!! about a month ago, i had become friends with someone. We used to come to my house and babysit my sister over(starting last summer). Then something big came up that has effected our friendship.
....We had the best of times, the worst of times. We got along...we were like friends for life. I felt like I could tell her almost anything and express how i felt about things. Same vice versa.....then when after this situation came up, I heard stories of how she has said negative things about me behind my back. Again, this came from words of mouth , but the main fact is that we haven't been in communication for a while now, and i feel that our friendship is breaking apart. Almost instantly when i read that first line, i knew that this was my story. It;s nice to know that I'm not the only teen in the world who has experienced this. Great poem.
Poetry is definitely the best release that I have found. I know when I slack off of my writing, and I get really upset, I say things that I really regret.
But this piece was totally awesome. One that I know I, and many others can relate to. Thanks for sharing.
Whoever reads this, please please please comment on it! I need all the feedback I can get. Thank you so much! 8)
