#11 When Friends Go Too Far

The reason that I wrote this poem is that I had a lot of feelings and thoughts inside that I needed to let out. I have had a lot of GUY friends, but with one in particular I crossed the line. Our friendship has never been the same. Yes, we are still friends; but I find myself wondering what our friendship would be like if we had not crossed that line and gone too far. It might have been better - or would it be worse? I will never know.

When Friends Go Too Far

by Lesliann Gilardi

Why did we cross the line?
Everything would be fine -
One moment of pleasure
For all this pain;
Can you tell me now what did we gain?
Everything would be OK -
Normal as it was,
But no - we had to go to far -
We had to cross that line
I would never turn back time,
For every moment I learn.
It's just things are so different now -
Things between you and me.
Why didn't I open my eyes?
Why didn't I only see
That what we were accomplishing
Would be the end to you and me?

omg this poem is immaculate! it menas so much! and if u experianced whta u write about it is a horrible feleing! im experionsin it right now!
Rose

I vote this because I am putting myself in this situation. Crossing that line from friends to intimate friends isn't healthy. Different feelings evolve and I'm sure you look at the other person differently. So thank you for writing this because it helped me not to go down that path because the friendship means the world to me and I don't want to lose it.
missy

Lilian

This poem touches your heart and makes you think, what would happen if you and that cutie that you call friend would ever cross that line.
Amanda

I like this poem because it reminds me of one of my old friendships and this is true once you cross that line there is no crossing it back. Now i lost a friendship i will never get back
