Gambling My Friendships

Contributed by musicXisXlife on Sunday, 28th January 2007 @ 11:16:54 PM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry

I just had a dream
and in it
the only person I had left
was you.
nobody else cared-
you were the only one.
I was aware of that
but surprisingly, it didn't bother me.
not that much, anyway.
you know why?
why it didn't bother me?
because I knew I had you.
and even though it was just one person
I was okay.

but then
I did something
screwed up in some way-
and I lost you
now I had nobody left
not even memories of anyone
because
when I lost you
I also lost anything I had ever had with anyone

nobody remembered
nobody knew me
I tried to tell them
but nobody could hear me
nobody could see me
even though I was right there
they stared right past me.
and it was like I never existed at all
just because
I put all my trust into you
I gambled friendships for you
I thought I didn't need anyone but you
and, hey- maybe I was right
it could have been just you
we could have been perfect forever
but I just had to screw it up.
with that stupid gamble
I lost everything I ever had
and everything I ever could've had
I lost everything.

There's alot of emotion in this piece. Very well written. Excellent Job.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
