Left Behind

You stood still while away I had to fly yet our friendship will always abide. You are still there stuck in the past and I know where my future is cast. Into a world of people with hope their lives unfurled freed from all dope. As you stay in the past I will pray each day our friendship will outlast your darkness and gray. And, I want you to know as I live in the light you too can grow away from your plight. And join me again in a friendship aglow for as always then I will love you so.

Hey Sue! Hope you had lovely Christmas. My poem is there in the members contests and also under my poems! Don't know why you are having trouble seeing it. Under Member Contests it is in alphabetical order beginning with title contest which is "The Heart of Addiction". Thanks for commenting on the other. I was in a Lord of the Rings type of mood when I wrote it. ~lol~. Hugs, me xoxo

Outstanding, this piece resembles a bit what I am experiencing now. The courage you have, and the talent given to you combined together to form a tough yet loving poem that is everywhere in your daily social life. Wow.

It is so true, Sue, especially in relationships that one seems to stay put while the other take off be it education or maturity. I liked this one a lot. Thanks for your welcoming wishes. Celeste

So sad you had no choice but to leave someone near and dear to you behind. Your heart must ache so, as the love you feel is felt strongly. Good luck to them, hope they catch up to you soon. Love, Shar
