POEM: MY Friend

[Porkette]

My friend I hate to do this but our friendship just can't last
The times we've shared together have faded to the past
I told you it would happen, our friendship was bound to end
Although I know you care, I don't consider you a friend.

Please don't try to argue but try to understand
That time can change two people as the tide changes the sand.
Yes, our friendship has been lovely but you see it has to end,
Because I look at you in a different way. I've fallen in love with you

My Friend.

great poem... as Sandy commented elsewhere... surprise ending... and the break in rhythm before the final rhyme i find kind of "embodies" the change you describe, too...

:) the icon only provides one so... two thumbs up :) and i hope you will share more.

Hi Folks,
Thanks for the compliments. I wrote that poem back in 1978 when I was in 10th grade and gave it to my high school sweet heart and he thought I was upset with him until he read the end. Just remember one thing. You are a PIG P for pretty I for intelligent G for girl or guy. So the next time someone calls you a pig just say: "thanks for the compliment". Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You!

Wonderful and also surprised; my anticipated direction was wrong!

I recall recently you had mentioned on other forum that you wrote poetry, very nearly wrote you back to give a nudge, glad you posted; thank you for sharing. ;)
