#43 A Friend's Love

This poem I wrote for my best friend when she was sick. It really explains how I feel about her and what she means to me.

A Friend's Love

by Jacquilyn Flory

No one really knows
What kind of bond we share
And even if I told them
They probably wouldn't care

You are very dear to me
I hope you know it's true
And now that you are sick
Tell me what that I should do?

While you've been gone
A part of me has been lost
It's like I've taken our friendship for granted
And now I'm paying the cost

I never knew how much you meant to me
Until you went away
The thought of you being really sick
Haunted me every day

I spent a few days at school alone
And my weekend was such a bore
A lot of my time was spent in my room
I think my mom's ready to break down the door

And now I make this vow to you
To keep until the end
I'll help you through the pain and tears
Until our rivers bend

So if you ever need someone
You know just who to call
I'll be here by the phone
To catch you if you fall

When i read this poem, i realised what my friend means to me. She too was really sick, and it was during her sickness that i really got to know her. She came out OK, and I hope ur friend did aswell, cos I couldn't imagine what i would've felt like if she hadn't. Thank you for this poem.

Oh my, how wonderful this was! It touched me in ways I couldn't imagine. This happened to me too you know, and love hurts so much, because, as a fifteen year old, I know all about love. Honestly, liked the poem, honestly, gotta hate the teenage reviewers who act like they are the only people ever to hurt.
