Click hereI have been your friend,
for years I supported your dreams
believed in you, prayed for you,
helped and consoled you.
I was there when your Grandmother passed,
when you had problems in school, at home,
and in life.
I talked to you, encouraged you
when she returned your ring.
Although I've been there,
I feel like you don't know me
You've showed me secrets,
taught me love,
Yet this friendhsip remains in limbo.
I kept your thoughts, and feelings
but am to scared to share mine.
So afraid to show you who I am
I've been hurt, abused, and even died.
Yet I remain here for you
I want so badly to reveal myself to you.
But somehow I can't.
I don't know how.
I couldn't bear to let you see past the walls,
that baricade my soul,
to show you how vulnerable and weak I really am.
I hope one day
I can put aside the distrust, my suspicions,
and second guesses.
To display my inner beauty, thoughts dreams, and wishes.
I believe I am a rose,
I have not bloomed, kept myself sheltered, until
the frost and winter are over.
But I garuentee to you
when I finally do bloom
it shall be breathtaking,
and I pray you will be here to see, to watch,
to let you breath be taken away.

Anonymousabout 20 years agoTake it from someone who has felt much of what you have expressed here in this poem. Do not be afraid. Allow yourself to become vulnerable, take a chance, hide not your feelings or emotions as too late...as it can be for anyone, the chance, the hope, the opportunity may never again present itself.
Love while you can, when you can. And however you can.
Take the risk.

jthserraabout 20 years agopiece that read more like prose than poetry. It's a bit of the telling and not showing syndrome. You tell the reader how you feel rather than show him or her. I think if you used concrete examples to express the feelings, they would be strengthened.

YDDabout 20 years agoThis reads more like a love letter than a poem. Are you trying to muster your courage to send it to him, or are you hoping he will find it by himself?
Good luck and wishes to you both.
