About the Poem
I've been friends with this wonderful guy for almost five years now, and apart from an initial attraction for him that I felt at the beginning, but never spoke of, that's all we've ever been. Friends.
But then, totally unexpectedly, he suddenly turns around one day and asks me why we never became more than friends. My first reaction was laughter that bordered on hysteria.
I thought that he was joking, but it still made me feel a little guilty because what for him must be a joke was actually a particularly favorite fantasy of mine not more than four years earlier.
So it came as a complete shock to me when I saw his hurt look and heard the words "I meant it, Emma". I'm ashamed to say that I didn't deal well with it. I think of all the things he could have turned to me and said, that was the least expected.
Anyway, to get to the point, I messed things up pretty bad. The one guy that I ever really liked and respected, may have even loved, and I kicked him out of my apartment. Almost literally.
Now he's moved without a warning and I can't get in touch with him. It's like he just disappeared. And it hurts, a lot.
I guess I just want to say that if you're reading this, Joseph, I'm sorry.

Your poem is beautiful and captures the feelings of love unnoticed lost. I've been on both ends of this tragedy, on the one, been shunned and laughed at by a very close girl-friend and on the other, unaware that a friend was madly in love until after she committed suicide. The imagery of love growing claws captured the pain strongly. Your poem touched me and was elegantly phrased. Thank you for sharing it.

Never Meant To Be |
| by Earthbound Angel |

Softly as a gentle breeze, Love crept into my heart So softly I did not realize Until we came to part. 'Twas then that love so suddenly Grew claws, and without warning Clamped around my heart and left Me bleeding and in mourning. So stunned was I by this attack, I did not cry out "stay! " And, frowning at my silence, You turned and walked away. I never knew, until you left, How much you'd meant to me And now you're gone, I guess Our love was never meant to be. |

Ewelina
What a wonderful poem! It describes the sitution I'm in at the present time, kind of. This poem deserves to get a very good rating on this site, because it simply refers to situations a lot of people are in,like what do I mean to that other person in our relationship and what she means to me? Questions in that kind of relationships exist,but we don't answer them in our minds,really. The words in it are simple ,bring up meaningful questions and it is also not too short and too long. Keep up the great writing!
