Merry Christmas

12/07/08, my best friend lost her grandmother, so the holiday's are always rough for them, anything she or her family needed i was there. slowly she pushed me away, it hurt.

Like many writer's I have insomnia, I stay up my mind racing, it affect my life and school work, so i've started a journal filled with my poems and thoughts. this is the letter I wrote about my friend.

I texted her tonight, told her merry christmas, and that I loved them all. It wasn't a lie, I do love them all, they were like a second family to me. I always say we could never be friends again, and that I hate you, but for every "I hate you" there's ten more "I love you's" attached. I'm sorry for the pain her and her family are going through, and that I cant be there now. she pushed me away months ago and thats why I cant go back. you were my best friend, I trusted you with everything, and I can't do that again, but I'm sorry for any wrong on my behalf.

here's the poem I got from that.

December 25th, 2009

I texted you that night 

"Merry christmas, I love you"

It wasn't a lie

You were a second family to me

My best friend

I trusted you with eternity

i can't do that again

I'm sorry for all the pain 

You and your family suffer

and that I can't be there for you

Like a real friend suppose to.

You pushed me away

So now I can't help

There's to much space

To many walls have been built

This is all I can give

From me to you

"Merry Christmas to all,

I'm sorry and your missed"

this is a really good poem! it sucks when people grow apart, as I know very well. But you show the true dilemma here that people suffer; friends grow apart, but one of them will still always be there for the other one. It was really well written too and it just flowed nicely and the words were simple, meaningful and they sounded nice in the poem :)

This is... great. It is actually wonderful. This isn't just a poem - It's a short story in its own right. The flow was excellent, and poem itself was of a decent length. The reader can immediently understand the persona, which is vital to a good poem. Many people can relate to this. And the emotions that come through the poem are brillant. This is a great write.
