Closer to him

Farther away

The closer you get to him

You're going further away

It's all him

That's all you see

You want to be with him

What he does

You do the same

Why am I the one left out in the rain?

I should have expected this

I saw it coming

But Why I was shocked

I still don't know

I recognize you're friends

But I feel like a shadow

Mindless, friendless, hopeless

Why even try?

Why do I feel

Put on the back burner

Unimportant

Feelings left to simmer

Because all you see

Is him.

Thanks, It's about my best friend. She finally got a guy friend who's not a jerk and now she doesn't want to do anything without him.

Farther away
The closer you get to him

- i think these two lines sum up the poem perfectly :)
just when someone gets close enough to a person to be able to love them, they push that person out. why? perhaps fear of getting hurt...

i could kind of connect with this poem. bits and pieces.

great writing kaori! keep it up :)

Exactly. But if you look closely, you can see that there are three people in the poem, the narrator, the girl, and the boy. This was written from my own personal experience, my best friend just found out that the boy she liked had mutual feelings for her. We went to a week-long conference together and the whole time it was like I didn't even exist because all she wanted to do was be with him.

Thanks I'm glad you liked it.

Hey Kaori :) I have really looked forward to finally getting a chance to comment on some of your poems! I really like the sad, outside-looking-in tone of your poem. In so few lines, you really create a strong emotional response that resonates extremely well. Great writing :) Take care, Regan

Well, its life and as it just so happens , the same that gets done to us we do, but a matter of time it will be, and things to normal will return

Yeah, thats how life goes, but it doesn't mean I have to like it. ^_^

great emotions! i love it a lot! i guess everything happens for a reason, even if that reason isn't apparent at that moment in time.

Thanks. Yeah. I guess it happened for a reason, even though I didn't like it.

I feel bad though. Cause it seems like you guys hate that fact, and there's nothing I can do about it. I'm sorry
