"We Can't Be Friends"

I can’t be your friend and your lover…

Too many words have been spoken, too many emotions exposed…

I’ve told you things I’ve told no other…

Never on the same page, you and me…

Why is that we can’t be …more than just friends?

Can’t you see how much I care…how much I want to be there?

To hold you, to kiss you and shower you with love…

What’s standing in the way…your heart or mine?

Can we stop… rewind… go back in time?

When neither one of us had a significant other…

I wonder how things would be, if only it were just you and me…

Every time I tell myself to let it go and let it be…

I just end up hurting me…

Because, internally I can’t stand the thought of losing you…

To hear your voice no more, is like never hearing myself speak again…

This goes out to you, my homie, my lover, my friend…

Tough choice but you seem to have a complete understanding on the depth of your situation! Good poem and nice rhythm I can almost hear it as a song!

Awww shit you go girl! Were you nervous at all?

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
