Friendaphobia

i push them away
find reasons
to say goodbye
after a while anyway
the intimacy
the closeness
the inability to trust
it always gets in the way
it terrifies me
to let them in
to let them know me
knowing
they could walk away
in short
i have
friendaphobia.

DAMN!
FANTASTIC!
I don't think I could have put my exact feelings on friendship in a better or more accurate way. Thank you for writing this, it is now one of my most favourite poems. Cheers!

This is very good. I think a lot of people will be able to connect with this feeling. I know I can. The words flow beautifully.

friendaphobia, I think I used to suffer from that. this has the feel of a Shel Silverstein poem.
