Poem Commentary

This is about my friend that doesn't trust me but I want to help her since she's getting more and more depressed.

Broken Friendship

Every day, I would force a smile
In vain hopes that it would brighten yours
Every day, I would wait a while
To try and make your spirit soar

You were happy all the time
You would laugh, and run, and hug
But now, your smile is not genuine
You've given in to that depressing tug

Now, You are like mist
Barely seen, barely there
You are half alive
Not thinking anyone cares

But every day, my heart aches for you
Every day, I want to help
Every day, I'll try for you
To make you better

Yet, I am not the one you trust
I am not the one you tell
"What are you doing today? I need to talk"
Even though I picked oyu up when you fell

And that smile that is forced on your face
Pains me every day
That fake laugh, the turning around
Looking anywhere, just away

I ask you the same questions:
"Are you okay? Do you want to talk?"
But you shrug me off, heading to her
Even though it's you she mocks

I want to hold your hand, to let you cry
As that's what best friends do
But I cannot ask you 'why'
Because with me, I'm nothing to you

I'm fake, uncaring, and just rude
I never want to isten
All I'm saying are just lies,
according to her, I only sin

Although, I wish I could help
I wish I could make you better
I thought we were best friends
But with her, apparently, you'll let her

But she gossips about you
She tries to make it seem that you
There's nothing wrong, but look at me.
She doesn't understand you.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
