The power of imagination makes us infinite. -John Muir


Lost again I think you are
Goodness gracious, you've lost your head
You've gotten into trouble again
I see blue and I see red

Red I see for your hostility
And indifference when I was in need
You ignored all of my lonesome ways
And my cries you failed to heed

I see red for your foolishness
You were always into trouble
But I loved and cared for you anyways
But now you've gone again and fumbled

I see red because you lied to me
You said you'd always stay
Loyal to my side always
Never to be led astray

I see red because I was alone
Alone right next to you
But you had other things that you cared about
Then to see your promises through

I see blue because you were my best friend
Half of my life you had
But when a opportunity knocked
You ran and left me sad

I see blue because I'm waiting
I've been waiting patiently here
You threw me out of your life
But when you return, I'll be waiting here

I say blue because I know your heart
You're a smart and caring friend
But misguided by your life of lies
I'm afraid you've reached the end

I see blue because I know
That I won't talk to you for a while
But wether that's months or years to wait
I'll welcome you back here with a smile

Will you know my boyfriend
Will you know my fiancée
Will you every return back to my side
To witness my wedding day

Come back, come back
I beg of you
Turn not away from me
You've hurt me badly
And cut me deep
But my friend you'll always be

Almost everyone has gone through the loss of a good friend to a mistake they've made. The worst pain is knowing that even though they're gone, you'd be willing to welcome them back.

I agree with what Poetintraining said, but other than that, it's a very good poem. I can eaisily relate to it, and I'm sure many others can. Awesome topic and a lovely read. I enjoyed it.
