Reflections - 2. Need of Pain

A poem I wrote when thinking about leaving home, a place full of friendships, happiness, memories...
They say three is a crowd
 
And two is just but a company
 
No one told us about the feelings
 
And thoughts that go with this saying.
 
 
 
 
How often we walk through life
 
Knocking on the door of love
 
Looking into windows of warmth
 
Wishing to be on the inside looking out.
 
 
 
 
Friendship is a precious moment
 
Of being accepted and needed
 
A chance to be part of
 
Someone’s idea of time well spent.
 
 
 
 
A companion is one who’s hand
 
You can hold when the chips are down
 
One who you can count on
 
To be near when everything seems far off.
 
 
 
 
A buddies’s ears are always open
 
To listen and comment and cry
 
Around, when life seems to bring
 
Another period that we spend on our own feeling down.
 
 
 
 
From one to another and then to a third
 
Friendships are always changing the heard
 
Feelings change and times rearrange
 
The things we forget are not guaranteed.
 
 
 
 
And so we struggle to keep it cool
 
Make all sides relax and pull
 
But beware, tension is there
 
And happy times may become very sparse.

Thanks Joann. It was something I had to learn quickly when I left Africa, and made me realise how important friendship really is. Thanks for the feedback. :) x

Friendship is so important. I like that you are able to express yourself directly and simply. It takes skill.

Such kind words, means a lot you taking the time to leave a comment buddy. Poetry is something very personal for me, I wasn't even really sure if I should share it, but glad I did. x
