Selfish feelings

Contributed by brew on Wednesday, 19th October 2005 @ 10:32:54 PM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry



To a friend I had and to a friend I've lost
Not enough calling or time spent talking
Some where in all it was tossed
Not meant to be
Nor was the heart ever untrue
Just too much work
So it went astray
Humans become so self involved
In the end it seems they lose
A faithful true and meaningful friendship
If we could turn hands on a clock
It would be the realism
Yet......we can't

Awww...Is this the same friend you just wrote those other nice poems for? I hope not; that's so sad. It is rather tragic how life tends to get in the way of what's most important to us though, isn't it? Such a shame. With any luck, you two can still patch up your friendship...Nicely done...good job expressing your feelings here brew.

awe, brew, this was so sad. I'm with scorpy. I hope
you can patch things up with this person. It would
be great to turn back time, but I'm of the belief that
there is no greater loss than that of lost opportunities
..... take advantage of them and things will work out.

*hugs*

This has happened to me quite often. The way I see it is that is just a natural part of human growth, although it can get difficult, espsecially when you were real close with this person. In the end, everything happens for a reason and if a friendship was really meant to be "till death do it part" then it will be that way.

Dayna this is so true. We get caught up with everything that we tend to forget about the things that really matter. May you patch up your friendship my friend. You're such a great person and you deserve the very best of everything Dayna. Goodluck and all the best to you.
*hugs*

Dear Brew, you've posted one of those poems that instantly connect with the majority of human beings - a rare thing indeed.

Just one comment on the 2nd last line . 'realism' doesn't work for me here. It stands out as a complex notion in what is a straightforward poem in language and sentiment. However, its your creation, so I won't suggest a line (when people do that for me, I usually take the suggestion to change, not the offered alternative).

This post resonated strongly with me - its seems lately that I'm losing more friends than I have left, and not because of anything beyond the reasons you spoke to so well. A Melbourne artist and poet, Michael Leunig, wrote,

Things fall apart,
String bags full of oranges
And things within the heart
Memories evaporate and friends depart,
People just go 'um' and 'er'
And things just fall apart....'


all the best, and thanks for your comments on my postings,

Spike

So true...your words Dayna:

"Humans become so self involved
In the end it seems they lose"

..after thinking about these words...
I am left to think again....about all I have lost-

Reflecting..
