PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Before you can learn,

to love again,

you must take it slow,

your heart must mend.

~

You lost your love,

and your baby too.

Through a mutual friend,

I became there for you.

~

We talked through the night,

and became great friends.

But our attitudes changed,

before the conversation’s end.

~

You had feelings for me,

I didn’t feel for you.

I’m just your friend,

but your feelings grew.

~

You became a little upset,

when I stated I loved another.

Then later I heard the tragic news,

from your older brother.

~

You landed yourself in the hospital,

with slit and bleeding wrists.

And I sit and wonder what I’ve done,

rocking and shaking my fists.

~

People keep saying it’s not my fault,

that you tried to take your life.

But if I hadn’t told you the truth,

maybe you wouldn’t have picked up that knife.

~

I just wish you could have learned,

not to quickly plant the seed.

You’ll just hurt yourself more,

with a heart that still does bleed.
