Close Friends Till The End

October 4, 2008

Why can't you believe that I'm here to the end,
even if it ends up with us only being close friends.
I saw you as a boyfriend when you were there by my side,
to hear my troubles and find ways for my pain to subside.

You were there the day when date didn't show up for Prom,
so you put on your tux and lead me there arm-in-arm.

You were there even when we were kids when that bully took my cookie from me,
you went and puched her right in her nose and gave it right back to me.

You stood beside me when i decided to change up my life,
thinking of what religion to fit in without my life's strife.

I always thought that we would be more than close friends,
when suicide was your thing for your life to end,
so as much as you tried to help me through the years of what i went through,
I grew the courage to decide to help you.

So even though we were only the close of friends,
I was the one that saved you from your end


The author's comments:
I've been writing poetry since i was 11 years old. I love writing poetry because it takes me to my own world where my words can run freely without any restrictions or anybody just holding them back. What inspired me for this poem was two of my friends and how close they are as friends. I thought of them one night and i imagined them as little kids and just how much the guy was protective of my friend and I just came up with this poem.
