Missing an Old Friend by ~totouch-theearth:icontotouch-theearth:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Human Nature > Spoken Word


Looking into the face of a stranger,
Feeling a million feelings,
A thousand memories come back
At once,
Like a bizarre dream...
And I long,
And I miss,
And I wonder,
Who I don't know anymore.

Laughed together,
Shared our thoughts on life and a bottle of coke.
How could you be a stranger?
The shadow of who I knew
Is on your face,
A face I don't know
A different face,
A different person,
A different time...
And we say hi.

Oh swirling whirling strange thoughts, man..
As two perceptions collide!
Longing, missing..
Wondering,
What's inside
Your mind
All the time.
I know you,
And you're gone,
Passing by,
It was nice.

Author's Comments

I wrote this to describe one friendship, really, but it describes many in the end. And this is for all the people who know what it's like to grow apart from someone who once knew you better than anyone else, how strange it feels. This is about you feel like you have nothing to say to the person, but so many memories are attached to this person that it feels unbearable to let go.

Oh, I certainly know that feeling.
It has a lot of emotion put in to it, and it shows.
Memories are strange things.

A lot of readers can relate to this sort of poem - I know I can. A lot of it rings true.

It is very songie. You should write something to it.

I really like the emotion that you've conveyed in this piece. You've made some very good word choices and the whole thing flows very well. You've created something personal, but something others can relate to. Overall, I think this is very successful. :)

Ah, good to know.
I was a bit worried about how good this actually was.

I know what you mean by this poem...I feel the same exact thing about my best friend who I lost...we were closer than anybody else...we were oposites but the same...she was short, I was tall, she had black hair, I had blonde....and so on but you couldn't see one of us without the other being close by. Well, things happened and we had a big thing that broke us apart...it hurts because the her that I remember, the her that all of those memories are attached to...isn't anything like this person that is before me now... I suppose that's what the phrase "something came between them" means :nod:

You broke me: I should have known it when I saw your eyes were blue. Eyes as cold as ice. Eyes as cold as you.
