A poem for those with "just friends" syndrom

[blackendangel13]

Hi all,

 

I just wanted to share a poem I wrote about those of us who wanted second chances and had to settle for "just friends". Hope you like it.

 

~Satisfied~

 

Thinking back on me

when things used to be

so much easier

and took much less time to explain

the way everything crumbled

 

I used to love

I used to care

about more than just myself

and everything you took away

that used to hold me

 

When everything fades

and I am left with nothing

but my memories to keep me sane

they provide little comfort

on days when I can't forget you

 

I will never be satisfied

with the sideways glances

and all the times you say you're sorry

for the way you ripped my world apart

forcing me to settle with your friendship

 

Friendship that ways so heavily on me

that I cannot get out from under your thumb

holding me where I will always be

trying to pick myself up off the sand

as the grains slip through my hand

 

And I will never be satisfied

with what you are willing to give me

and I will never be satisfied

with what you wanted us to be

[Vampiress]

nice very nice

part deux

 

take me back

love i lack

you will see

I won't be

just the same

 

nothing said

lie in bed

hope for change

out of range

who's to blame

 

take my hand

understand

you and me

one, two, three

end of game

 

now I say

sans delay

what a fool

love is cruel

crying shame

that should be "weighs", not "ways"

 

the rest of the composition gets a B-

Hmm I'm not too into the poetry. I would rather express my emotions through cursing really loud while I'm driving down the road so no one can hear me or beating up a stuffed animal. Anger is a much better emotion.

You own a punching bag, I assume?

[alphamale]

oh, my heart aches for thee

but by you friends we shall only be

 

must it be so

that my soul be left in the cold

 

while you are with him

living a life of pain and sin

 

I, being much too nice

cannot steal you away from your vice

Poetry, to me, is cathartic. Plus it's fun to write (sometimes).

Alpha, I give you an A for Alpha.

Not bad, Alpha. I'll give 'er a go

 

 

Be friends I say

It must be this way

For what you don't see

Is you can not be with me

 

So while you lie in sorrow

I'll forget you in the 'morrow

And while I begin anew

You'll just sit there and stew

 

You say it sucks to be taken for granted

Should have seen this love was slanted

But as with all things in time

A love replaced is no crime

 

Be my friend, and stay close

I'll call you when I need you the most

And like a marionette on a string

You'll be there when I need a fling

[westernxer]

Bravo, man. Bravo.

 

 

 

I'm interesting in seeing how one writes a poem after dropping acid... I'm not volunteering, though.

Thanks. I've only done acid once and it was enough to scare me off drugs completely.

 

That was when I was 18.

Isn't that why they want to stay friends?! LOL

 

If the sex was great, they'll certainly keep you around for FWB....

Nope, just some poor stuffed animals that get beat up from time to time!

LOL now there's a thought! Whoa this is way off topic but I thought about doing that until my friend told me that when she looked in the mirror she saw her face turn into something that looked like that man in that painting called "scream"

 

[westernxer]

The painting that was stolen? That's a good way to describe an acid trip.

That is just harsh but a lesson I think I need to hear right about now.

 

Also, that whole let them walk thing is a really good way to look at it. I never thought about that before. I think you just made my day easier and I will never be answering any phone calls from that guy again. Time to move on.

 

Thanks

Here's a short one I came up with:

 

 

"At least I can say I loved and lost -

You just lusted and forgot."

I can't take credit for it. It was passed on to me and I felt that the information was poignant enough to be left in my siggy.

 

Stick to NO CONTACT. Anyone who walks away from you doesn't deserve to be let back in your life.
