Come Back

December 10, 2008
By Anonymous

I had been hurt

Then we decided to become friends

You had helped me through my pain

Although we thought each other to be enemies

We talked more

I began to anticipate the times when we saw each other

We were not close

Then you began to act more interested

I returned some of the interest

But suddenly you pulled away

Talked to me no longer

Once more I was hurt

Yet you did nothing

Each passing day of the same treatment buried me deeper into my sorrow

Each day the dream of you ever speaking to me growing further away

Each time I am in your presence feel ignored

I dare not look into your eyes

For fear that I would be left with a scar on my heart

Yet I decided it was not my duty to fix

If this was the way it was going to be

In my anguish and pain

I shed more tears

Then brushed them away

Swallowed my hurt

Buried it further

And continued on my way

But I do not think I’ll be able to do anymore

I do not believe I will be able to continue on

If you never talk to me again

If you continue to shun me

If you decide our friendship was to be short

For this burden I can bear no longer

The only way to lift it,

I ask of you…

Please come back to me

The author's comments:
I wrote this after I became friends with someone and a few misunderstandings came between us. We still don’t talk, but I got a lot out of the relationship even if he didn’t. I also wonder why people choose to hate when they can love. That is why I tried to fix the relationship, but we’re two different people and that doesn’t always happen. It’s okay to grow apart, and I wanted to show that even though I was begging with him at the end to come back, he still hasn’t and I can still move on.
