Josh's poem

I don't understand why
you couldn't answer
a few simple questions

who knows how I would've
responded to your answers
or what might've happened

I can't write....
what I need....
to get out

I hate hurting.
It use to help the flow;
now it's blocking

It's taking away
from a decent friendship
your inability to answer

stop hurting me
answer the questions
befriend me again.

***********

not the greatest, but I needed to write and get it out. hoping it helps...and yeah, I sent it to him, too.

Your pain really comes through in this poem. I hope y'all are able to work it out.

Roxy, whatever helps us get out the emotions of loss and hopeless feelings that we all have can in the end help us realize that all is not lost nor hopeless! Good poem!

Roxy-writing can really help, and I think he will get the point. I'm sorry you are hurting, but I appreciate the poetry.

Writing as therapy, plus the placement of a good poem.

Unbalanced relationships are tough... giving more than you get back only leads to heartache.

Roxy -

Writing IS therapy! This was very direct and I enjoyed it a great deal. "Answers" are how we learn; you know this. That's a good thing. One day this friend will learn this too.
