About the Poem
This poem is the way I told a very special friend that my heart had been broken so deep I could not allow him to love me until I got rid of some of the old pain left by someone else.
I Need You As My Friend |
| by Nina |
| I've been hurt so very deep By the one who once made my life complete He left his scars they do not show Imprinted them within my soul So forgive me friend if I get scared but my emotions are temporarily under repair I work on this heartbreak everyday Slowly its damage is drifting away IF you've ever been here I know you'll understand That what I need right now is for you to stay my friend |

I really like this poem because my best friend is going through depression right now and it really helps her if I'm there for her. This poem reminds me of what she is going through right now and I really hope her day is a lot brighter because I sent this to her.

I can really feel this poem. I have a friend that i am intimate with and before i was in a abusive relationship both physical and mentally. My friend now is really understanding about my situation and says that he just wants to be my friend,but im sure that i will sooner or later feel more than just friendship. Good poem,wonderful poem it really touched my heart.

I truly am touched by this poem because it allows us not to have to feel tough, not communicate real emotion and feelings locked away inside. It speaks very loud truthful, genuine and honest. Allowing us to be human, and sending the message It really is okay to need someone. Especially A treasured, wonderful friend whom we love with all our heart, soul and spirit. the one who knows you never judging, just loving, and is there when you really need them and feeling safe and a mutual understanding it's okay to feel, and share some of the parts about ourselves we see as awful when they find the beauty, and help you back to finding yourself again. In turn it sends the message 'and it is okay if you ever "need me." Thank you, I love this poem and did send it to a friend. Shyann

Angel
This is poem would be so true to so many. I have lost my bestfriend and husband to suicide and after found out he had also betrayed me and my two young sons. I would have forgiven him had I known. Why could he not talk about it. Now, some years later I have met a wonderful man through the internet. He has pain as well. Together we are working on it. Thank you.
angie
