About the Poem

This poem is the way I told a very special friend that my heart had been broken so deep I could not allow him to love me until I got rid of some of the old pain left by someone else.

I Need You As My Friend

by Nina

I've been hurt so very deep
By the one who once made my life complete

He left his scars they do not show
Imprinted them within my soul

So forgive me friend if I get scared
but my emotions are temporarily under repair

I work on this heartbreak everyday
Slowly its damage is drifting away

IF you've ever been here
I know you'll understand

That what I need right now
is for you to stay my friend

I can really feel this poem. I have a friend that i am intimate with and before i was in a abusive relationship both physical and mentally. My friend now is really understanding about my situation and says that he just wants to be my friend,but im sure that i will sooner or later feel more than just friendship. Good poem,wonderful poem it really touched my heart.

Shyann

I truly am touched by this poem because it allows us not to have to feel tough, not communicate real emotion and feelings locked away inside. It speaks very loud truthful, genuine and honest. Allowing us to be human, and sending the message It really is okay to need someone. Especially A treasured, wonderful friend whom we love with all our heart, soul and spirit. the one who knows you never judging, just loving, and is there when you really need them and feeling safe and a mutual understanding it's okay to feel, and share some of the parts about ourselves we see as awful when they find the beauty, and help you back to finding yourself again. In turn it sends the message 'and it is okay if you ever "need me." Thank you, I love this poem and did send it to a friend. Shyann
