i only call you cause' your my best friend
stranger even now that we should be "friends"
if only to be close to you i'd call you anything
you like
i am lost in this big wide world without you
i am banging on the window as i look in
you are cuddled on the couch
laughing on the phone
i am all alone
i cannot live for me
you see i am quite disturbed
i could live for you
and your eyes so blue
i cannot live for me
you see i am not so hot
i could live for you
and give you what i got

This is really good, it's something I can relate to a lot. Great use of the prompt.

sad and moving
Hello Amy!
This is a very sad and emotional poem, full of disillusionment and helplessness. You have captured that very well, although I fervently hope that you are not personally feeling this way. Beacuse that would make me sad. I Hope Stanger realizes his folly and embraces you again.
Best of luck in the contest.
Have a lovely day,
BJ.
