This is a poem I wrote about a girl I knew. We've been friends, lovers, and now enemies. |
Yesterday we were enemies Cold as the fiercest winters, The fear and hatred I saw in your eyes Will never escape my suffering soul. But today I say we sit together And gather the memories ‘round, For tonight we are not enemies. Tonight we are but human. There were the nights I lay awake Praying, wishing for your forgiveness There were the days I clenched my fists Campaigning on your downfall. I remember the old and dusty days When I even felt I loved you, But tonight we are not lovers. Tonight we are but friends. Still, the horrors refused to end For her, you could not even pretend Why couldn't you believe the horrible truth? You gave her up for evidence? Abandoned her for proof? Now, the hatred for you flows From her and I each day it grows Though part of my heart feels soft for you, I have no explanation, that's just what I do. Graceful beauty and happy smiles Hate-filled wars and tear-drenched miles But dry your eyes and soften your soul For it is time to say goodbye. Goodbye to those old squabbles Goodbye to all the anger For tonight, you are no longer a foe. I see you as you are, my friend. Goddess. |
