These two were written recently after listening to a friend that had been going through some troubling times in her relationship. It's hard for me to know the right thing to say but I think someone to listen is sometimes the best thing you can do.
The basic facts are that she still loves the guy but needs change. He won't talk and in the background a long time friend has confessed his love for her- nice timing, not! Tried to put all this down in the first poem...

Losing & Hoping

The echoing silence of our discontent
Emanate through this room
A distrust of our feelings for the thought
We are ending too soon
How many nights, sleepless
Restless, lonely nights
Have I spent wasted to find
You’re not willing to fight
Youth they say
Is wasted on the young
Mine is being wasted waiting to know
If you’re the one
Shadowy figures take on the most
Respectable form
Moments past, unrequited love
Leaving relationships torn
A feeble request, I feel is not too much
To ask
Is talk to me, please, or I fear
We will be lost in the past
Absence they say
Makes the heart grow fonder
But alas, my love
It has only taught ours to wander
Oceans apart, the season of joy
At our door
For us I would think
There will be no joy at all
There shall be a time
Where I will mourn for the loss
But I will think of the happiness
The first time our paths crossed
When one door closes, another they say
Opens
‘I wish for you my best’
Will be my last words spoken



Joshua Tree

Sadness at times gives the most vivid of views
Smiling in the face of the hurt that breaks you
Many small things that bunch together and cumulate
Turn into tears that can release and help germinate
New thoughts and ideas that were lost in the past
Re-occurring once again but this time they will last
For the seeds that were sown in days gone by
Were not fertilized or watered by the tears from your eyes
Now these small seedlings are strong and break free
Of the earth that was holding them back needlessly
Finally seeing the first light of their days
They will now strengthen and blossom through endless sunrays
I may not at times say the wisest of things
But all I have tried is to give your seeds wings
Often we make bad decisions on our own
So it is good to know at these times, we are never alone.
