Though I know you not very well
and we have never met
I would like to tell you something
I hope you’ll never forget
I remember the first message you sent me
dated on the evening 4th May at 21: 43
when you told me just how much it meant
that I knew what you’d said and knew it’s intent
even if it was just reading a few of your words
and of that whole day it was the best thing I’d heard
At first you were frightened
that I might you betray
but I could feel your relief
when I told you I’d stay
You told me some things that you’d not told another
about an uncaring mum and an evil hating brother
about what you fear what may happen that night
about how you wish your fears could take flight
To you I did listen and not much I did speak
when all of a sudden you said “I’m a freak”
you were scared I’d agree and then run away
although I will tell you now that “actually I’ll stay”
No secrets you share will ever be passed on
I’ll still keep it safe when I’m dead and gone
it will be locked securely away deep in my mind
kept safe from anyone who would be seeking to find
I am here to listen to whatever you fear
nothing you tell me will make me disappear
your listener I will be for as long as you need
until all your troubles are gone and you are set free
Very nice poem. It vividly depicts what friendship is all about- sharing and trusting one other. Well done!
You are such a romantic :) I love these lines: No secrets you share will ever be passed on I’ll still keep it safe when I’m dead and gone. Being able to tell someone your deepest darkest truths and knowing they will accept you, they will not judge or betray you. Loved this.

when you told me how just how much it meant ...........i think one how too many. ;) my first impression of this is: very nice job! and rhythm and rhymes are very good. i just hope you can keep your promise to someone(s) you hardly have had time to know............and that, i guess, just over the infamous internet! i must say, however, that your words DO sound comforting. thanks for sharing. bri :)
