Love and Torment

Look at the baby

Fat and chubby

Soft and quiet

Ready to walk on her two-wobbly feet

Towards her life, she would one day see

Taking time to study the world

With her two humongous eyes

*Flash*

a year passes by, then another and another

and now she faces the biggest lack in her young short life

the challenge of friendship

she finds one then another then another

but one stays true to her, and that’s what you can call true friendship

the person who stands by her side, one way or another

understanding and caring keeps this friendship alive

which makes life worth living

following her emotions and dreams

but the pain of love…

shows…

the deep deception that no one knows; the guilty anger and pain that no one feels

beating…beating…one…two…three…

she screams…”ahhhh, I can’t take this anymore”

the painful torment eats her alive

gasping for breath before she drowns

in the icy cruel liquid of her backstabbing first love

hoping to find a true love…that would one day

be true to her, because people say in this world, nothing last forever

but she doesn’t believe that’s true

because the way she feels

when there together

she knows that’s the way she’ll always feel for him

she’ll never change the way she feels for him even though he left a big hole in her heart

when finally they are true and will love each other till the end of time, they will be together forever

but what can you say is love and friendship when you aren’t sure what they mean

NOTHING!
