Occasional friend or Life forgotten

Contributed by AbstractMinded on Friday, 16th January 2004 @ 02:28:19 PM in AEST
Topic: oops

Lifeless, unharming
You act like a mirror
Their moods you submit across a blank canvas
Then complain when they expect you to change.

If you'd stand up occasionnaly for what you believe in
Take a stand on a life worth living
Not play Miss Perfect to a disilusioned crowd
Then feel plain when they turn from you on a whim.

Have I not been there when you felt that pain?
Was I not understanding when you stood with the hurt?
When the knife hovered and the words echoed in your mind.
And you felt unloved again, unwanted once more.

And now, so quick to forgive, so sharp to befriend
Those who will not be there in a week, a month
When your life again takes a melodramatic somersault.
I would have been, I would have tried-like I did.

Forget it, the matter is behind.
But nobody knows you when youre down and out.
I wont remember.
I wont know.

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. ©
