Every single day
I hate that I love you
I feel so pathetic
and you still don't have a clue
your laugh, your smile
I hate it all
even though you catch me
every time that I fall
I hate when you hug me
like you'll never let go
and at the end of each day
I still love you so
my hate for you grows stronger
with each passing day
but the love for you I feel inside
will never fade away
I suppose my secret love
just wasn't meant to be
but still inside my heart
I'll love you eternally
you have never lied to me
you've always been my friend
you were always there beside me
until the very end
I'll never feel the emptiness
of another lonely day
you'll never say you love me
and all because you're gay.

hmm really didnt see that one coming
i thought it was a really powerful and emotional piece right from the start, and then the kind of anticlimax at the end is really good and... different. Great write!

oh my goodness!
those last lines - dang!! I'm impressed. All through it I was sort of thinking, okay, yeah, a poem about loving someone you can't have, nothing new... but the last stanza just totally brought it together. I was a little afraid it would be the kind of standard "I love you, why don't you love me?" thing but then the last line... great. great write!

I liked this, I wasn't expecting the last lines, it really brought the piece home
Well done and thank you for entering x

this was really great
and I dont know if the "you'll...gay" part was meant to be funny or if the person is really gay.
Anyway I love this poem. You are a great poet.

This is a difficult one indeed!
I too had a dear friend, he is gay and we remain best friends to this day. He confessed to me one day..telling me how he was in love with me. It didn't creep me out because I loved him like a family member -a brother.
I still love him. He hated me for awhile but later on he found his soul-mate. Needles to say I was a little over protected of him and thought that he could have done so much better (was I jealous?). It turned out perfect though. They bought a house together and adopted a beautiful little boy who's grown into a strong and intelligent man. He's fighting over in Iraq now - I worry about him everyday. Ok you got me off the beaten path but I totally relate to how you feel!
word in thought: Don't give up the friendship.You have something special..hold onto it//embrace!! -
This is a poem worthy of more than gold. You move steadily toward the end with simplicity and love that is supreme. I am bowing to you with humility. congratulations.

I've never been to put into words what you were able to do. I feel EXACTLY like that about one of my friends. I applaude you. This was excellent. The ending tied the poem together completely.
