When you have to put your love aside
And just be their friend
Or else lose their love forever.
When you have to hold desire back
And just hold their hand
To keep them from giving in.
When you have to look them in the eye
And lie straight to their pride
So they don’t tear themselves apart.
When doing what you want
And acting like you feel
Would make them run.
When watching them cry
For another, from pain of heart
As you cry inside for them.
When you watch them fall;
Learning to fly,
When you want to just be their wings.
Sometimes watching is all there is.
Having to learn when to step in.
Letting go, even though you know they’ll fall.
When all you can do is catch them.
Or only after, pick them up.
When tears just aren’t enough.
When friends need wings
It’s not always enough
To just catch them when they fall.
When learning to love them
From far away
Can sometimes dissolve their hurt.
Hidden angels are all friends are
Especially in times of need;
They can be your wings.

I can feel the pain, it throbs and pulses, this poem breathes, it lives.
When you have to hold desire back
And just hold their hand
To keep them from giving in.
And
When doing what you want
And acting like you feel
Would make them run.
Had me nodding and gaping. Beautiful. -
you are amazing. You have me spellbound by your poetry

Only the very strong can truly do this and it is a blessing when they can. That shows true love, letting someone go and respecting their emotions.
-
Congratulations on winning silver with this great verse. Might want to correct the spelling of friends in the title - easy mistake to make.

Dear flaed!
Thank you that you entered our contest!!!
This is a really great poem you wrote here! But as LittleAnn already mentioned it: It would be even better if you changed the words my friend - not FREIND!
- already said...
But anyway, I LOVED your poem...
Good luck in the our contest...
Keep on writing - I'm keeping on!

P.S.: You may excuse that I won't applaud anybody in the contest until it ends. -
It definitely makes sense! Thank you for entering our contest, this was a beautiful poem that flowed really well.
Just some small things:
'friends' in the title should be 'friends'
3rd line: I think 'loose' should be 'lose'
'Hidden angels are all friends are' I think the last 'are' is unnecessary.
But I enjoyed reading anyway, good luck and keep it up!
