Dear Friend

Old friend of mine

So dear and true

Why do we do the things we do?

Like poison our bodies thinking its fun

Not really caring til the damage is done

Or trusting others that call themselves friends

Knowing they will turn their back in the end

Dear friend of mine the question I ask

Why do we love if we get no love back

Time after time we will always give in

Knowing we will always get hurt in the end

Dear friend of mine who I grown to love so

All I want to know is where did the happiness go

I remember the smiles that once glowed on your face

Now you look hopeless and it's a disgrace

Old friend of mine

so dear and true...

Why do we do the things we do?

Hi Yuki- the best part of the poem is the beginning and the end."Old friend of mine
So dear and true
Why do we do the things we do? Please notice it scans and has started metric form then stops to start an Iambic pentameter rhythm. more of a gallop? the ear would not like the music. having said that it is a sweet poem.even better if you could keep to the stanza's metre. okay to change with a further stanza.
Thank you for reading my work. Roy.

I thank you for the advice but my father wrote this and i plan to keep it just the way it is for him.

[roy k austin]

for him of course yuki- but should i doubt that you did not understand the abc's of the craft of poetry or does that not matter? perhaps it does not for you but your love for you dad is admirable-not enough of it in this world? roy..
