Sometimes I wonder
If people know
They knew about you
But you were in a
"relationship"
You had something tangible
Something real
And I,
The wallflower,
Have only these thoughts
Once,
We were friends
You confided in me
I confided in you
Everything felt right
You only fall in love
with interesting people
And I wanted to be interersting
What happened?
I still love you
Where are you?
What happened?

Words can be unclear with the actions and behaviors supposedly exemplifying love can be confusing. Someone close to you may say that they love you but then lie to you or hide important things from you. In this situation, the person being loved receives mixed messages, which confound love. When someone is in a relationship of mixed messages, it is possible to conclude that love is dangerous and harmful.

I enjoyed reading this, i liked the fact that it was short and basically to the point of what you are saying. It is sad that you lost someone you cared deeply about. Nicely written

This is a perfect poem. I can relate to it so much. I love it! It's so sad though, nice work , keep it up *Jade* XXX

Great poem. Lots of emotion in it, great job. It sucks losing someone you truly care about, and it hurts even more if they can't see how much you care. Keep the pen flowing!!

I really like that part (okay, and the rest of the poem lol, but that was the one I just happened to quote). Your poem is short, but it's full of emotions, enough to effect and not so many that it's cheesy. Just right. It's great, like a sense of loss, losing someone (friend or otherwise) is always hard. And very personal.
I like what you did, in short. Applause for you
