She said her brother is in jail
She looked at me with painful eyes
And said why can't life be a fairytale.

I put my arms around her
And I held her really tight
She said she was sorry for hurting me
And doing things to me that wasn't right.

She said I can't believe you still love me
I criad as I said what are friends for
She looked at me and I could tell she saw the pain
She was sorry for not being more.

I cried cause I knew this wouldn't last
She only comes to me when she needs me
I've learnt that from my past
But as I said what are friends for.

So I won't let her down
I'm going to keep strong
One day she may appriate me
I hope that day won't be long. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 171 [topic] => 16 [informant] => Emsal [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => FriendshipPoetry )

What are friends for...

She was crying when she came to me
She said her brother is in jail
She looked at me with painful eyes
And said why can't life be a fairytale.

I put my arms around her
And I held her really tight
She said she was sorry for hurting me
And doing things to me that wasn't right.

She said I can't believe you still love me
I criad as I said what are friends for
She looked at me and I could tell she saw the pain
She was sorry for not being more.

I cried cause I knew this wouldn't last
She only comes to me when she needs me
I've learnt that from my past
But as I said what are friends for.

So I won't let her down
I'm going to keep strong
One day she may appriate me
I hope that day won't be long.

It's almost scary - as I have done this exact same thing - opened my heart again, and then got trampled on - nothing changes I'm afraid to say. People's personalities don't really change - they use all the words they can to draw you in again, and we let them, but they go right on hurting.

You did the same as me Emsal, but I hope you don't keep getting hurt like me - it's not a good way to live. This is a great poem and says so much about friends who abuse friendships. Well written.
