Dedicated to: Bethany
I sit beside you
Watching silently
I wonder if you know
In your sleep you look
Almost innocent
Almost kind
Almost pretty on the inside
Almost like a friend
Looks so familiar
Like the first time
I saw you
Smiling, laughing,
The only one to accept me
I was younger, more naive
I'm still naive
I'm still young
Look at you!
Look where your lies
Have brought you!
Look at all the
Blackness
Behind your eyelids!
Does it haunt you
In your sleep?
I can change that
I can be a friend
You don't understand
Quite how
That's fine
I can be your dictionary
Did you know?
You look so much
Like the facade
You dropped and broke
All those years ago
Hey... I can relate. Good one.
Is this the same Bethany that is your (X) friend? It's kind of cool to see moods change within a single poem. Good job on this one.
