Poem Commentary

Ever have a friend that was only your friend when it was convenient for them?

Friendships Charade

Laying mutely watching the world pass me by 
Eyelids grow heavy over hazy unseeing eyes 
The day is warm but the skin remains cold 
Shielding vainly the trembling pitiful soul 

The words...hateful venomous seething with disdain 
You used them against me to stake your claim 
So maintain your status among the pretenders

You shared your laughter with me 
You gave me your tears
Was it all simply lies? 
Were they your legitimate fears?

Forget me where I lie
Pass me by with an uncaring eye 
Allow the anguish to build up inside 
I will not however let you see me cry 

Certainly once they are gone for the day 
You can drop your charade 
Once again you will be by my side 

Offer me your apologies and sweet smiles 
Surely I will be drawn in as I always am
As sad as it is the simple truth is
I will take you any way that I can

sad sad sad to need the company of another so much........once you come to terms with the fact that you are your own best friend, the easier life will be. Stop giving energy to pretenders and a whole lot of time will open up to meet someone real........great poem.....i've been where you are and it sucks to be there.

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.
