Count on me

by Robin Auger   Jul 1, 2008


I don't know what to say to you,
You mean the world to me...
And you know its true;
One day you make me feel like a million dollars
And the next like dog shit on the bottom of your shoe
You make me smile, laugh and sing...
But at the same time
You make me cry and scream
I don't know why you do this to me,
And I don't know why I let you...
I guess its because every time I start to lose hope,
You give it back to me,
You make me think there is a chance again
If you asked me today
"What is tomorrow going to be like?"
I would tell you that there would be no more you and me,
That I wasn't going to take your crap
Or let you walk all over me
Then tomorrow comes,
And you give me one look...
You know that look...
The one look that makes me melt right there
And I have hope again
This happens again and again
At first, I thought it was all your fault,
But now I know its mine...
The only thing you're doing is being my friend...
I should take it as that,
Friends are better than nothing...
Then you hug me,
Or tell me a joke,
And I know we're meant to be
I don't care how many times this happens,
Because I love you,
And all thats important to me is us being together...
I know that right now you don't see
Or that right now you don't love me,
But someday you will, and it'll be great
But for now, if I'm your lover,
Or just you friend...
I'll be here for you no matter what...
You can count on me.

    Very much of paradox in describing a friend,
    but when we take the good with the bad it may be worth the risk as this poem reflects well

    This poem definatly expressed some pretty amazing feelings. It was really good, but I got kind of bored. It was like more of a conversation, but just you speaking. You know what I mean? It started off really well, then I got kind of bored. It was still a good poem though because you did an excellent job expressing feelings and such. 4/5.
