I Silently Weep

Written for all those people that haven't found what they look for in a friend

 

I silently weep for my true friend to appear

To know me,

Understand me,

To love me without fear

I silently weep for my best friend to come

To hold me,

Console me,

And help me with that I've become

I silently weep every night for it to come true

Just a wish,

For some one,

I could say 'I love you too'

 

Author's Note

Nothing very intense. Just the results of 'one of those days'. Makes me want to sigh.

It does make you want to sigh! It made me wish for an old flame that disappeared out of my life 19 years ago - but I was young and foolish then -- oooohhhh - if i could relive those precious moments...your poem inspired me to think back to those days of foolish loves and romances that help shape us into who we are today! I loved your poem...

Man, you don't realize how much this is me

[Isolophobe]

Yes, yes, yes. That was intense enough for me. Real emotion here and real loneliness well spoken for.

[Brandon]

This is a very well done piece. Short, sweet and to the point. Very good flow, and just an all around good read.

Such gentleness in your words to a beautiful and thoughtful poem

[Princess]

Returning the favor... because I have no objections with reading new things!

Overall I liked the idea of the poem and especially the rhyming that seemed to fit just fine into place. However, to be honest I can see this having two meaning: one more literal and the other talking about the guy who you may be waiting to come around. In either case, this line doesn't quite seem to fit:

To love me without fear

If it's referring to an actual best friend, then I don't know if the word fear fits there. But in the translation that you're reffering to a guy, I mean, don't you want him to be afraid of losing you? I mean, you don't want him to be afraid of you, but I don't know, maybe it's just me who feel iffy about the word fear haha.

And one spelling error I caught: 'that' should be 'what' i think...

Other than that, very nice poem. Simple, but has a lot of depth which is nice :]

I have had these feelings as well.. we all want to have that someome who hears and understands..I know I have that now..but some of my friends I have lost along the way.. and I sigh .. because of it

[Elizabeth]

Ah, for someone to say, " I love you, too". Yes. And mean it, we hope. This was beautiful. The first line really says it all.

[Just Charles]

Such a short poem, yet it packs an emotional punch.

[Anya]

awww... beautifully tender with a twist of sadness winding through it...

[anon]

A very pleasant simplistic poem... the repetition works well for me... Enjoyed this.
