My Dear Friend

A friend of mine just recently got dumped by her fiance of 6 years and I created a poem to kind of help me to help her, I guess.

My Dear Broken Friend,
How love’s cruel betrayal pierced you
Causing pain to throb deep within your soul
As darkness descends on your world
I shall grab your hand

My Dear Fragile Friend,
I will not allow darkness to swallow you
Though love has turned its’ back in disgust
What is the price of betraying yourself?
I shall shield you

My Dear Torn Friend,
Cry upon my shoulder till tears turn to dust
Hold onto me until my warmth melts the ice
I will face the pain and sadness with you
I shall guide you

My Dear Collapsed Friend,
Your world has not yet been destroyed
For true love has not abandoned you
Your friends and family stand readily by
We shall help you

My Dear Friend,
This will not be the end of you
It is the beginning

What a wonderful poem of support for one who is heartbroken and needing a friend. It's hard to watch others go through these emotions but being there as a shoulder to cry on, or just taking the time to listen and support them is all we can do. I like the way you capitalized the first line in each stanza and the way you finished it with a perfect little sum up! really nicely done :)

I wrote this for a friend who got dumped by a boyfriend of 7 years. The sad part is that as soon as he realized he couldn't do better, he came crawling back to her... and she took him back. But thank you so much for the review!

Hard words to understand below but we must.
"My Dear Friend,
This will not be the end of you
It is the beginning"
All a good friend can do. Is listen and pay attention. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
