We started as friends
But along the line, something changed
I became more than a means to an end
I became more than a friend

Then the day came, mistakes were made
You were tired, it was over
You found another, made me lame
Just like a late morning hangover

But I am willing to give my best
So it won't be an issue of could've, would've, should've
Smile, if you want me to fight
And let me know we are not done yet

After every dark night, comes the rising sun
On this journey called life
Don't shut me out, don't break what's left of my heart, and know that
I can't let you go

An original poetry by @adebayopaul

Sort:  

This is so nice, but this is a very sad poem, how I wish it could have an happy ending but there are no such things like that.

Life is not a bed of roses. Thanks for the comment

I 100 percent agree with that

Hmmm...
Love the rhymes in your poetry. But one thing that gets me worried about myself and poetry in general is that why are most poetries based or talking about love?


I'm also at fault here tho, you can check out some of my poetry in my blog, @aauthespian1

I don't know about others, but I believe most poetry are inspired by love, so writers just pour out their heart. Thanks for the comment

I used to love writing poems but stopped several years back. Reading yours just brought back the desire to write again.

Nice one you've got there; touching and nice.

Thanks, I really appreciate your comment, don't stop writing, it's a thing of joy

Beautiful poem and very emotionally evocative!

This was my favorite part:

You found another, made me lame
Just like a late morning hangover

I love the creative analogy that brought up such specific feelings.

Great post!
