An Unrevealed Scar and a Suicidal Friend

by Jennifer RIP Lesthat Hayden   Jun 25, 2005


I'm avoiding reality.
Ignoring the truth of things.
Dazing off in la la land,
you can't see me, no one can.
Insanity's becoming true.
All because of I love you.
My voice is lost but that's not true.
My lips can't form the I love you.
The end is near, I just know.
But my love for you I just can't show.
If I say it, if I do, things won't be the same with you.
You speak to me.
I speak to you.
Deep inside I cry to you.
I do cry but you don't see.
You're not in the room with me.
The tears of salt runing down my face,
leave stinging marks across my face.
Love is a four letter lie?
I say love is four letters for pain.
All this shit makes me insane.
All because a simple question.
Only friendship was revealed.
I fear my heart just wont be healed.
That day I asked, it left a scar.
Two hours in the dark I sat
that day.
A friend was there,
she helped me then.
I had fun that night, right then.
The one thing is,
I truly helped her.
She said she'd be dead.
She said I saved her.
All I did was be a friend,
but friendship saved
her in the end.

    I got a bit confused in this - it started out really well... I was thinking you were talking about a loved one that you were feeling confused about - you were upset because you couldn't show him how you felt towards him or say the words. But then it switched so quickly at the end to you talking about a friend who you saved "that night"... I just wasn't sure who the poem was about in the end (a guy you love or a best friend you saved?) as the story about the guy wasn't resolved in the end and the story about the best friend wasn't explained (you just told that you'd saved her and not what was going on)...

    It was a good write in that I could feel more emotion in this one. (talking about how your salty tears caused scars down your face and things)... but it feels more like there are two poems in one here and neither idea (boy vs best friend) was fully explored.

    Does that make sense?
