You kissed the girl, then you made her cry.
And now she has left, you're surprised?
I'm here as always, at your side.
While within me, love and friendship divide.
Soon there's another, but this time you cry.
She’s suddenly gone, having put you aside.
Seeing you hurting, my heart and soul sigh.
While within me, love and friendship divide.
You think you’ve found her, it’s my turn to cry.
You don’t understand, you’re asking me why.
I’m just happy for you, I say in a lie.
While within me, love and friendship divide.
Losing you is killing me inside.
I know you know, you see it in my eyes,
no matter how hard I try to hide.
So love and friendship divide.
When I tell you I love you, there's tears in your eyes.
You promise to always be by my side.
We never knew, because we never tried.
Love and friendship collide.

Just wanted to tell you that I stole the title of this poem!!!
I used it for the title of a collection of poems I entered into a contest....Didn't win, so it won't be published or anything
Just wanted too tell you and thank you
"Because when love and friendship collide...a piece of each other dies...spending nights in lies, trying not to cry"
Whatever..Love You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -

Yes, I really like this poem. The repetition oddly enough adds to the overall meaning of the poem. It is a feeling not often cature.
Thanks for sharing:

I think I may have read this before but forgot to comment! Sorry!
You used the word 'collide' very appropriately here. Usually Love and friendship are supposed to be blended in harmony, but it's tricky, and when they're still separate and you're caught between the two in not knowing, it's a very uncomfortable experience that can put one on quite the emotional roller coaster.
Well, you expressed it perfectly here and I really feel for you that you have to go through this. But I know that in you it'll turn into more understanding and better decisions in the future.
It's such a delicate place in a relationship... this is quite like what I went through with Matt, so I get what you're saying here.
With your keen understanding of things, I know this will only make you a wiser, better person.
The poem has good structure with the last stanza triggering the right feelings that you conveyed.
"we never knew, because we never tried."
That line just about explains the basic situation.
Okay, this is getting long! How did that happen? Lol.
You're a great girl, Michele. I always hope the best for you.

I've lost a lot of friendships because of an attempt at love. Yet I think true love requires friendship...it's so confusing, I wouldn't know either.

OooHH thats so cooooll
Love and friendship divide??? THAT is such a super dupper statement. Its perfect for the situation too. I think my favorite line was
"Seeing you hurting, my heart and soul sigh.
While within me, love and friendship divide." I just love the whole sighing thing, its interesting to imagine, cuz i've felt that way so many times it is the exact distinction of a sigh..that kind of feeling. This is a really interesting poem, and I'M estactic to actually be reading your work again lolol!! OH. And the end was a really cool twist by the way, made me think. Awesome waasome.
heehee.
