This hellish curse...
I felt it hours before...
Not life in my hands this time...
Only my friend
My best friend
Unlike my last words on the come before feelings...
The friend I betrayed knows what I'm saying
What I'm talking about
What I mean
I should of though
Why didn't I?
Why didn't I keep writing that story?
I seen it before...
I just didn't listen
If that wasn't enough, then I should of thought
I knew we weren't supposed to
I knew we weren't supposed to talk
Only talk
I was inspired
I wanted my best friends opinions on my ideas
I was so dense..
I even knew before hand
Depression sunk into my heart hours before
I knew...
I knew...
Such a stubborn person I am
So dense, so cruel...
I try
I fail
I'm as cursed as they come
I lost my previous best friend because of who I am
Many years rip us apart, but my other friend listened
I don't know if he believed, but he didn't reject me
My best friend, she knew what I was saying
Now what?
It's my fault...
Our parents don't want us to be friends...
What's wrong with two pre-teens trying to be friends?
I'm sorry...
Very sorry...
I blame myself, not this curse
My greatest power
My greatest weakness
My curse
I'm sorry, my best friend

Wow. This poem really touched me as it did all of the others posting here...
You are a gifted writer, Leigh - for being able to convey such deep feelings and regret.
I am not sure which touched me the most:
Your lovely writing or the precious comment by Mehrina. (you're a lucky girl)
I read *that*, and felt compelled moreover, to remind you, we *all* make mistakes. I know this sounds... trite, but since it is so true, I'll take that risk. We do learn by our mistakes and regrets.
We become better people by hurting others and consequently feeling remorse.
This piece has a keepsake quality, in that it feels like a private journal; which, are therapeutic and beneficial to their owners.
We can look back on them and one day realize how far we've come, how much we've grown.
All of this defends the effort of revisiting this for some careful editing. (what David suggested, and "I seen" needs to be "I'd seen")
I look forward to reading your other work, very much! ^.^
Leigh, I am almost completely speechless. This poem is so good, I almost cried. There is so much meaning put into this poem. I was just so amazing, I loved it.
Wow. Oh my gosh. I'm speachless. BUT THIS IS AMAZING. Slighly confusing, but then again I WAS blonde when I was little (hehe).
Like David said, there are a few mistakes that you might want to change. Other than that this poem was excellent!
Great Job!!
Oh, WOW Leigh! A deep feeling of regret laces this poem, and it touches me so. Am I proud to be your best friend! And I, even though I already assured you when the "tragedy" occured that it was none of your fault, I feel that I must say it again. Leigh, I never blamed you for anything! You're a very good friend, you know that?
If he/she is your best friend, there is not a lot you can do that will change that, or he/she was not really your friend at all.
This write shows a lot of emotion, yet keeps hidden what is really going on here, but that's okay, because this poem sounds very personal and the true meaning needs only to be known by the author.
You need to make a few corrections to make it better: "I should of (should be 'have' not 'of') though"
"I (should be 'I'd' not 'I') seen it before"
"If that wasn't enough, then I should of (should be 'have' not 'of') thought"
"I even knew before hand ('beforehand' is one word)"
Welcome !
