To my friend

I can see the road you're going down

I've seen this all before

I know the road you're going down

I've been here before

It's my fault I brought you here

Maybe I thought you'd be stronger

Too bad you're just as fucked as me

And I cant really say I'm sorry

Because at least I'm not alone

Maybe I thought you'd save me

Or be my moral compass

When you saw mine shatter

Instead you went along with me

And we're both left falling 

You wont recognize what you'll become

But I can see it clearly, Ive seen it all before

And I wish that I was sorry

But at least I'm not alone

I'm not big enough to change this

I'm too selfish to help you out

I needed you to save me

Now I don't think you can save yourself

My friend, I'm glad you're coming with me

But I know you don't belong

And deep down I'm really sorry

That I am not alone.

Misery loves company. I like the play on words with it is, it is not. I am not sorry. I am sorry. At least I am not alone. I wish I was alone. I can save you. You need to save me. It is what it is. Sometimes we want it to be one way while it is quite another. Good read!

It makes me want to read more.

What a brutaly honest write....you have made my mind whirl with this writing...

VERY good write. I have known people like this and at times I have been on both sides of this. People just don't want to be alone, even if that means bringing someone down with them. Like someone who is drowning. There is a line you reach between being someones friend and being their pity partner. And there is a fine line between trying to get better and trying to get comfort. You capture this very well in this poem. Good job.

A very strong and honest poem about the fragitily of one's needs. How we take other people down with us, when these needs get too strong for us to control and the inner conflict, which emerges. Thank you for sharing this poem with us.

[Lexi Nicole]

Powerful emotions. Very nicely done. I love the honesty of the piece and how you keep repeating certain things, like wanting to be sorry and being happy you're not alone. Nice work!

I like it, at least you are brutally honest in your feelings admitting your downfalls... you human and are not afraid to show it.
