Sticks And Stones -------------------------------------------
Sticks and stones may break my bones
May bruise me black and blue
May leave me broken, scarred and cut
But that’s nothing compared to you
You stripped me bare with your worrying words
And left me with no where to hide
The truth in your eyes left me broken and sad
Your words left me torn deep inside
You knew me better than I knew myself
Every secret, detail and fear
Nothing was left unsaid between us
You could always lend an ear
So much had passed between us
We were best friends for 9 years
In 2 seconds we were finished
And we didn’t even shed any tears
I guess we were both pretty screwed up
We were both hurt but couldn’t speak
He hurt me when you couldn’t save me
But you had your own problems that week
We talked for hours on end
Yet you knew there were some things unsaid
I didn’t ask about your bandaged wrists
So why did you ask 'bout his bed?
You knew that I couldn’t tell you
And still you wanted to hear
Confessions are thing one but memories are different
When they’re totally drenched in fear
Your persistence drove me over the edge
Memories plagued my mind
If only you'd listened and not questioned so much
I wouldn't have left you behind you behind
This is pretty sad...the sticks and stones anology was a good tool to understand how far back you went. I liked this though I can't say I relate to the whole raped thing or your friend's pain but I can relate to having a friend who your shifting away from...and i"m not sure if I want to stay friends cause it feels to me like we're only there for our old times' sake, we've been friends for 7 years. anyway I liked the imagry here though the end kinda dropped off some of the emotion you began with...that's ok though cause all things considered this was a pretty good write. peace
Thats so sad... very nicely written though. The details and wording are perfect. Flow and rhyme are good too. I cant really relate, but I could feel what you were saying. I hope things get better for you. Good luck with everything. Great job
I do feel that you lost a little of the emotion this poem was carrying near the end but its nothing that cant be fixed with a little retouching You let out a lot of emotion with this write I know it will help you heal from the hurt Take Care Ron
Please if you get a chance take a look at some of my writes and let me know what you think Thank You Ron
It started off with a good start then lost something along the way , wasn't as clear of a picture as it could of been i think but maybe with a bit of a rewrite you might be able to pull it off usually when one is close to another its takes a lot to destroy a long standing friendship and you didn't really make it clear what it was thattore that friend ship apart
I like the way you started off with this because it does make me think of a long time childhood relationship, but then it gets confusing and something more specific is needed for me to understand what is going on between these 2. Or 3...maybe it is a love triangle ? Tragic that someone would cut their wrists over it, but usually suicide attempts are a cry for help and attention, so maybe that angle could be developed more. It certainly held my interest. :)
This is an interesting poem. A good release of some bottled up emotions here. I think you could provide a bit more insight to the reader though as to why this nine year friendship ended. All you really say is that there were questions about his bed? I would interpret that as sexually based questions but I still dont see the significance of what was so bad that it ruined such a long standing friendship. And what do you mean by "you knew I couldnt tell you?" If you were so close then why couldnt you tell? This poem leaves me with lots of questions. It just doesnt seem to be a fight significant enough to lose this friend over. And I must say, if she is trying to kill herself, then she isnt really thinking right in the first place. I dont know, I am kinda lost with this, not enough insight for an outside person to really understand. But, people do tend to fight over the smallest of issues, but usually make up when it is a fight over something insignificant. Overall, this is well written, I just think it is too vague to fully understand. Take care.
