phone calls that leave me hanging
waiting for something to happen
nothing will
i want to be your best friend
to stroke your hair
wipe away your tears
and drive you crazy while doing it
cos i have been doing it for so long
now
my sorrys not enough
my lips are dry and cracked
much like my voice
i will spin you around
smiling and laughing
but let go of your hand
and watch you fall away
you are too real
up close and beautiful
you will always kill the bugs
i will always find another animal
to bring home with me
we will always have a history
and you will always have a wife
if you want one

Yea, you know I know exactly what you mean since we seem to share the same wave length too often.

Sad
I get the image of someone having love and being so full of care then this poem goes on and the love is lost.
I know how this is I was married for six years divorced for over eight and have not dated since.
My best bet is that I am going to stay alone don't want to experiance that kind of hurt again.
The only things I love are:
a My family
b my dog
c my writing
d coffee
e smokes
f God
not in that order but I do have an order in which they all fall.
Great write but sad.

This is lovely ... a wistful kind of borderline sad where you've left the door open and you can feel a kind of nostalgic breeze blowing from the other side of the world where you know that person can feel it too. I love this

very sad.... very beautiful. this feeling is just screaming at me lately. my best friend is heartbroken, my brother has been for months cause he broke up with a five year girlfriend, my mom is married and depressed, and even me, im actually with the girl I've always loved but I'm always in agony. what the hell is wrong with this species!?
okay im done whining, this is your pretty poem and I LOVE it.
