i remember those times we ran amuk,
like devils possessed, together we stuck,
some pranks anew, some old we played,
though beat to within an inch of our life, we never swayed.
jumping in the rainy water,our frocks then sogging.
always gauranteed a very bad flogging.
still laughing crazily, showing off bruises,
we continued our quests with no excuses.
those talks, those plans we confided in each other,
those dreams in our hearts grew further and further.
and thence we grew though old never apart,
you always had a special place in my heart.
we chose different paths for us to live,
yet were linked like wires in a sieve.
never dettered never frayed.
it never occured to me i would be betrayed.
they say people disappear when needed the most
she would have my back i would awlays boast.
that was when u let me down...
i was broken apart, left lying face down.
i wondered if you had a reason for this,
i still believed you though lost in abyss.
waiting for the undying pain to end,
always on a lookout for my long lost friend.
you never came and i finally understood,
the place was empty where you should have stood.
i gave up on you, but this answer i lack,
how could you leave me when i always had your back...

This is really sad. Unfortunately I had a very similar situation quite recently so I can really relate. It is beautifully written and simply heartbreaking. I felt like crying it was so wonderfully written. Thanks for sharing : )

There comes a time when everyone will abandon you when you
will have to face something on your own, but the true friend
will only let it happen once and then they won't promise again
unless they REALLY do plan to deliver on that promise, for a promise broke is way worse then no promise at all...

Just think of life as like the pendulum on a grandfathers clock
swinging from good to bad and back again. We can't stop the swing
to bad but we can hang on until the next swing back to good. We
can't control the actions that life brings to us, be we ALWAYS
have control over HOW we will REact to those actions that come.
In the end there are only two choices, to do or not to do. Maybe
is the same as doing nothing and if we do that life controls us
instead of us controlling our life. It is never love that changes
but rather what we "think love is" and what we feel we should get
out of it. Just be your true self and look for people who accept
you as you are instead of people wishing to mold you into what
they think you "should" be. Life isn't really that complicated,
it is mankind who makes it so, by wanting things BOTH ways...

nicely said. at times u just need a push or shove in the right direction though u know thats the way to pick, it takes more than will power to do it...
thanks for being that push, that shove. -

There are times that always require "action" for neither wishing
for a lotto win nor praying for a lotto win can come true with our
"applied action" of purchasing a ticket. Many a possible love has been lost when eyes meet but shyness prevented either party
from making a further move. Denial and finger pointing provide
not movement but only lock on in the past. Only new choice
can provide new life and move us from where we currently stand...

Wow... this is a very emotional piece that I can relate to. You always want to believe the best in someone and never expect them to let you down, especially when you need them most. I've been in situations like this and in turn have closed my heart towards people that I am weary of.
Thank you for entering my contest, good luck :-)
keep up the amazing work!
