You Said





hold me, Im so alone

carry me, like you did before

I'm so confused...... lost

you said you would be there



lift me up, unburden this heart of mine

in my deepest despair I reach for you

my days are oh..... so dark

you said you would be there forever



tortured cries deep within

my life so oblique

mind racing.......never stopping

I thought you said you would be there



Im on the outside looking in

wrenched heart, bruised soul

if this is real I dont want to know......hush

I thought you said you be there forever

Jo-anne Just like you we all have "friends" we write poems for - and so do I. reading this poem it took me back to my own promises and what I was promised too. Only of one thing can we be certain - that life will always will always be uncertain... In many ways it is wonderful too, for we will never know what is on the other side of the hill unless we go there! Regards Donkerman

How sad. It is one of the most terrible feelings in the world to feel abandoned and you conveyed those agonizing feelings wonderfully. Great poem. Bye bye now.
