Wanted to be a loyal friend
Sometimes we fail to see the end
My heart, once bruised, now on the mend
The days flew by so very fast

Those dreams I entertained some nights
Of company and turned-off lights
Took mind and body to new heights
Now deeply buried in the past

The cruelest card that life has dealt
That gets me blue, makes my hopes melt
Is that despite how good they’ve felt
Of ties I make, none seem to last

I grow attached quite easily
My social sense abandons me
I’ve done some awkward things, you see
Such history is very vast

I patiently await the day
That I might hear the newsman say
“Hell’s frozen over, let us pray”
That from me, this curse I may cast

Oh Seanmw
You look sad.

Is this mood due to that nice girl you told us about?

yeah, my FWB found a herself boyfriend.
either that or lied to spare my feelings and ease her own guilt.
so now we're just friends.

relatively speaking, not all that sad though.
just disappointed. i'll survive.

the writing helps me deal with things.
and i made it perfectly:
-5 sections
-each containing 4 lines
-each section with the same rhyming pattern
-each 4th line rhyming also apart from that
-and each individual line with the same number of syllables: 8

it's 8:22pm over here.

I've been on both sides of that fence. I don't know what's worse, feeling guilty or feeling used. I don't know how you're used to dealing, but I'd call this a good time to go have some fun without her, I'd invite you to my friend's party if you weren't in WA.

well, thanks anyways. it's the thought that counts, and hearing that made me feel a little bit better for the moment even if i couldn't actually go.

where are you from btw?

I'm in Colorado Springs, I just moved from Oregon.

I really like that poem. Your rhyme and meter are excellent.

thanks

I'm sorry it didn't work out.

I've wanted to tell you for awhile that I'm usually allergic to poetry, but I like yours.

oh, we're still good friends though. and frankly we seem to be closer to romantic potential at this point. it's ironic.
idk how that figures. maybe i just have a way with words. *shrug*

and thank you .
means alot.

ohhh, k.
lol, i'm guessing that's in colorado?
