So near, yet so far
In every line
I love him
And I will show him with this rhyme.
Every breath I take, hurts
Every tear that falls, burns
Being here makes my stomach turn.
A young girl in pain
Suffering from her father's hurtful game.
The scars never fade
The pain never leaves
All she wants is to die in vain.
Once with a smile
Now a frown
The blood upon the tile
Shows she has truly fallen down.
Now comes a stranger
Following in the path of danger
He's so different from anyone else she has ever known.
He wears the same mask as she.
A normal friendship
Normal talks
Normal days...
But now she has to go away.
What was there was something she did not see
A friendship stronger than anything she thought it could be.
Tired of feeling so alone, she goes to him.
Long talks
The friendship building.
But more than she knew.
Once a stranger, now a friend
Where she would be without him
She does not know
But even now, her love she cannot show.
Every call
Every tear
Brings but more fear.
They have become so close
Yet so far.
She is scared to let him in.
For the fear of her past sins.
He should now have to bare such burdens
But his choice was to stand by her
And show her she is not alone.
They are so much alike
In so many ways
But such pain doesn't disappear in a day.
But with this poem
She just wants to say
She loves him more
With each and every passing day.
That one single night
When her heart was weak
He called, and he knew this was not going to be defeat.
He helped her in little ways.
She begins to emerge
But then falls back
With the lump in her throat
She cannot tell him what is really there
She cannot begin to tell him how much she cares.
She doesn't really say it much
But the words are clutching at her throat.
She wants to tell him how much he means to her.
But with the scars on her arms
And the bruises in her heart
She is afraid to bring him harm.
But there she sits
Scared, and alone
She finishes this poem
By saying...
"I think of you more and more each day
How I never want us to go seperate ways.
If fate is real,
Than thank God you were brought into my life
Because you helped me drop my knife.
You've showed me that I don't have to be afraid to open up to you.
So here I ask, help me start anew.
Help me concer my fears
Help me dry my tears.
I have come to realize because of everything you do
That its alright to say I love you."

For my best friend David. I've always been afraid to tell someone that I loved them because it would always turn to shit, but I have come to realize I shouldn't deny a friendship like this, by being afraid to tell him how much I care about him. So this is for him.
"Its hard to pretend you love someone when you don't but its harder to pretend that you don't love someone when you really do"
this poem kind of goes with the kind of person i am and a kind of long distance relationship.
my username is Tighten The Rope.
It is such because I go through life as if the rope around my neck is squeezing ever so tighter.

I'll be honest and say I was expecting young love poems of the happy sort, but as I didn't specify as such I suppose I can't complain...
I can feel all the emotion in you poured into the write. It was almost draining me, because you've written it in such as way that drags the reader in and makes them feel too. That's good, it's a gift.
Thanks for entering.

Beautifully done. Yes a long distance love. That is really a hard one. What is even harder is distance and age. And knowing you have been played but loving that person anyway. Knowing it was real love on your part but not his. I felt each and every word of this write. YOu did a beautiful job wonderfully done. Thank you for sharing

Wow. This was really really emotional. I'm so glad that you finally got up the courage to admit that you love him. This is a really great and emotional write. I really liked the flow and the last part (in the speachmarks) was really beautiful. Thank you for your entry
