You come to me for comfort
When your world comes crashing down
You say you need someone that you can trust -
And so I give you solace
And I listen to your woes
Seems you can't distinguish love from lust;
You cry upon my shoulder
Say I'm always there for you
No matter what is making you so blue -
I give you sweet attention,
Loving strokes and warm advice
I give you all I have - my love is true;
And now your ego's satisfied
You're back to your old self
You've finally gone and got your second wind -
And once again you're looking
For some girl to win your heart
And I'm again forgotten......... your best friend.
Hey Linda That is a powerful poem that I can totally relate to. My best friend never ever saw that a great oppurntiy was right in his face and it was me. However thats his loss. great job Sydne

Linda, why the heck didn't I visit you before? After only reading three poems you have found a new fan who will be back again and again and again. This is a beautiful piece, which all the best comments have been said. I loved it for the sincerity and the poignancy that it displays. Thanks for sharing it. David
Some are born to give and some are born to take it seems. And it's true sometimes that the takers are doing the best they can. But still it' s a test, and only the best of hearts will keep on giving to such people. A poignantly worded tale that tender hearts on here will recognise only too well. jim
Linda, this is so apt, so accurate, so finely penned. Heart-rendering really. Any friend to a friend who disappears when the 'new one' comes along understands this frustration - one borne with toleration, it seems, by a friendly soul. t x
Linda.... it is so much pleasure to come back again and again.... every visit to your page is rewarded.... this poem is a gem in itself... the emotions flow smooth... and with transparency.... you work with the words like a sculptor of immense talent! I applaud on every poem of yours and this one too! A definite 10 for you.
Linda, I love the rhyming and rhythmic structure of this one. It works really well with the theme of disappointment and regret you evoke in the piece. A finely crafted, moving study. love, Allie xxxxx

Splendid! What a strong lament from a soft heart? This elegy if the careless lover hears definitely he won't step into another world?
