True Love or Obsession?

Friends are just great, you know.

So wonderful to keep...

Especially when love starts to show,

and their feelings are deep.



You tell them everything you feel.

You unlock yourself and let them in.

They let you imagine it's all real..

this comfort from a friend.



They start wanting every second.

Pretty soon, they want your heart.

Your head spins in the wreckage,

You need some time apart.



You give it one more shot,

but all they want is you.

You think its your life? its not...

Your feelings for others belong to them too.



"Don't look at him, hes my friend...

what..are you gonna be his best friend too?

You'll tell him more in the end!

You'll love him..is that what youre gonna do?!"



Relax darlin, they care.

Simply tell them how you feel.

They scream in your face and your scared.

Obsession wasn't a part of the deal.



Leave them crying and pray it's done.

You feel guilty but you can't be owned.

He loved me more than anyone,

but i'd much rather be alone.

I have had a few friends like that and from my view on this poem so have you. It sucks because usually the ones it happens to are the ones you'll miss when they aren't around and when they are you usually have the most fun with. I was reading some other ones and you do a very excellant job in expressing feelings... So I will tell you to keep it up. I also noticed that a few of your poems have knifes in them, just remember you may not be able to take the edge off of a knife, but you can laugh at the sound it makes when it hits the ground:P
