A Friend

I just can't get over how I once felt,

About the one girl who liked me for just myself.

Never complained about what I did or how,

Always complemented me on my ways and my style.

But I just don't understand why I couldn't take her in.

She was a pretty little lady, but all I wanted was a friend.

But she never turned her back and she never walked away.

I could see it in her eyes, hopeing I'd choose her one day.

But as time went on I finally set my sights right,

But as I looked in her eyes, I saw she'd given up the fight.

Her heart had wore down at trying to reel me in.

She was there to give her love, all I wanted was a friend.

And no matter how I tried, she couldn't feel that way any more.

And I still hear the words she spoke as I walked out the door.

She said I wanted you bad and it hurt when you said no.

I started to feel her pain and thought it's best that I go.

I knew she had spoke the truth, and it was killing me within.

I was a handsom little fella, now all she wanted was a friend.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I'm sure a lot of people can relate to this true story. It's a high school ordeal that I think happens to some one, somewhere everyday.

Wow...this is really good. I so admire people who can rhyme and not have anything corny sounding and you have done that so well. My rhyming usually doesn't work too well, so I'm always impressed when people can do what you've done.

The subject matter is also really good. Gets you right into it, making you feel what is going on! I love it!

I felt this piece. I think a poet is able to capture his readers if they can put their own lives into the poem. You have done that! Well done!
