Pulled Apart

I wrote this for a friend.

I honestly think

There will always be something there.

Even though I'll try,

To pretend I don't care.

 

Even though we could never be,

Even if you don't always love me.

 

People have pulled us apart,

Now it's almost impossible.

For us to be anything,

It hurts my heart.

 

I know you think I'm strong,

but I'm really not.

I held on to you with everything i had,

But nothing is what I got.

 

Your my romeo,

I'm your Juliet.

You dried my face,

every time it was wet.

 

Even though we're in love,

We're forbid to be together.

I'm still going to love you,

Forever.

 

We'll pretend to be "Just Friends",

As we stare into each others eyes,

We'll still be really close,

There will be no lies.

 

"I would die for you",

Are the words you say to me.

I love you so much.

Why can't everyone see?

 

I'm putting this poison in my mouth,

Hoping to be able to run away from this pain,

We lay here dead,

In the rain.

 

I'm your Juliet,

Your my Romeo.

Even though I love you,

We let each other go.

Author's Note

I wrote this about my friend David.
It's complicated & no one really knows how i felt about him.

Let me start from the author's note....
I can sort of understand what you must be feeling when you wrote this poem. It's hard to confess such feelings to a person who happens to be your close friend. Chances are that he might never saw you in that way... But it's always sweet to feel as such, isn't it?...lol
The poem is FANTASTIC!! I really enjoyed myself reading it. Although, I expected a happy ending, but the tragic end to this story...oops! I mean poem, is a twist in the tale and leaves the reader wondering 'What did just happen?' It's unexpected but very interesting...
The whole poem is full of emotions which came straight from the heart. The flow is very good. Keeps the reader hooked to it's seat...lol
The title too, was well-chosen.
One day you must disclose your feelings for him. You can't just let them bottled up inside. And on the particular day, be sure to have him read this poem...^_^
Thanks for requesting me to read this wonderful piece....
AWESOME!! FANTASTIC!! Well Done!!

thats really sad to be pulled apart from some one you care and love,but I feel if its really meant to be no matter what anyone says or does won't keep you apart forever and the will become stronger then ever. you wrote this very well. thank you for sharing this with me. karen

As always this is moving. I've been there, and reading this brought me straight back. You have a gift for words. You do an excellent job of convincing us that this is it - there's no chance of you "making it up" for literature's sake. Good job hun!

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Sometimes with love there are things that just keep you apart... your feelings of mixed emotions come across really nicely in this piece... Fantastic write.

mmmmhmmm and he loved it very much and so do i

[Mr. Lopez]

It amazes me how much that love can do to our minds and hearts. I am truly baffled by this life long quest for emotional gratification. I have now come to terms with the fact that , well.....love hurts ! As great as are highs of love , so deep are also the lows. No one has a perfect relationship, no one ! It is and always will be great work on both parts and there will always be pain. That is why i have so much admiration for those who have been together for so long. What they must have sacrificed to accomplish such a lasting relationship. Give and take , joy and pain. Your poem speaks of these pains and are felt by this reader.

the beginning has a few cliche lines, but towards the end it got really good.
i like it.

[John Stussy]

If nobody knows how you really feel about him, tell them! Claim him as your own, don't let the opportunity slide. You can't let doubts rule you forever, eh? Carpe diem. Live it up, and push pass the boundasries if you feel it's worth it. He said he would die for you, maybe he is willing to take that chance too.

[♥ Courtney &hear..]

Wow! This poem was amazing. It rhymed perfectly, it flowed brilliantly and the story within it was just breath-taking. Ive fallen for a friend before and he fell for me back and it ended up being a mistake being together so we split for stupid reasons ( our groups clashed mostly ) and we always still loved eachother. This poem portrays such a forbidden love, just like that of Romeo and Juliet, that any other analogy would have been less than what this poem deserved :-D

AMAZING POEM!

Great poem, chika. I've been there before. Only... I dated my best friend and we rarely even talk anymore. It's a complication I never saw coming. I'm here for ya if you need someone to talk to! I promise.
