False Friends

There are friends that say They think of you And friends that say they care Those friends that you just find sometimes The ones that say they share Those friends they take some part of you And make you think they’re there Those friends I need to break down walls Of mistrust and despair I need them as a life line To feel something inside Too often in this lifetime I’ve felt my being die. I find it hard to trust some It’s not a choice for me I’m looking for some bridges To help my life be free I chat here and I wonder Maybe you’ll hold the key Maybe I’ll learn to trust one That’s all I want for me Too often I’ve been let down By those that say they care I’ve given heart and soul to one And now I just don’t dare. Deep inside by being cries With love I what to share But first I really need to learn Once more I need to care. I look around and sometimes find Someone with whom to chat Someone that I do hope will find The key to where I’m at. It’s not a lot I want from them Not looking for a mate I don’t want love or mighty lies Just needing to relate Your just another one there now Who really doesn’t care You make me feel like shutting down The world that is out there I’m feeling so alone within This life a mystery Of names and lies and playing games No substance to your being I’m leaving now, not saying bye We hardly said hello I’ll find the peace that I do need And live once more tomorrow.

it's hard to find a true friend. this was a heart felt poem it touched my heart. thank you for reading my poem and for your comment. as far as since you took my heart away. i made it up. in one of my comments to you i mentioned that i had been married 38 years to my wife. so most of my love poems are about her or someone i knew in my youth or i made them up, but thank you for your concern.
