What Happened?

by Shades of Gray   Aug 10, 2012


What happened
to forever?
Did you change your mind?
Was I forgotten?
Is life holding you back?

What happened
to "I'll always care."?
Am I that hopeless?
Not worth saving?
Am I unworthy of such care?

What happened
to "I understand."?
Can you just not relate?
Do you not want to try?
Did you ever understand?

What happened
to your frequent hugs?
Do you not see opportunities?
Am I a bad hugger?
Do you fear I'll never let go?

What happened
to our deep conversations?
Did I say something wrong?
Was it too much pressure?
Do you think I stopped needing them?

What happened
to "It's okay to cry."?
Am I supposed to be tough now?
Does it seem irrational?
Do you expect me to hold it all in?

What happened
to the concern in your blue eyes?
Do you wish I was dead?
Just out of your life?
Or do you really think I'm okay?

So I write these questions,
though I doubt you'll ever answer.
And I'll be left here,
waiting and wondering
"What happened?"

    It was good. Personally, I wouldn't have so many question marks maybe commas instead and then a question mark on the last stanza of each line, but that's just me.
    Your poem did touch on feelings of a lost friendship that is clear, but the way it is...I don't know, maybe it could use some revision. You're still young so you'll get better, with that said your poem was not bad 4/5. Keep at it.
