Imaginary friend: Original Poem

Imaginary Friend

°:.   *₊        ° .   ☆     　 °:.   *₊      ° . ° .•.　 . • ☆    .

I try to make you smile

But it’s so hard

To be happy

For two people

.　 . • ☆    . ° .•            °:.   *₊        ° .   ☆   °:.   *₊   *₊       

I try and be your friend

But it’s so hard

To be happy for two

When you’re not even happy for one

° .         *₊    ☆         ° .    ☆     *₊   ☆ °:.   *₊     ° .   ☆    

I just wanted you to be real

I wanted something to work

I thought if I tried hard enough

Then maybe it would

All work out

.　 °:.   *₊. • ☆    . ° .•       °:.   *₊   *₊        ° .   ☆ °:.   *₊       

But now it’s all falling

Falling to the ground

I’m sorry my friend

I couldn’t help you out

°:.   *₊        ° .   ☆     　 °:.   *₊      ° . ° .•°:.   *₊        ° .

I tried so hard

To make things right

To make things right for you

.　 . • ☆    . ° .•    °:.    ° .   ☆.•°:.   *₊      ° . ° .•*₊ .•°:.

My old friend I’m sorry I let you down

I promised you that I would do alright

So that when you came back

And lived our old fights

You’d see how much has changed

How much I grew up

Oh, how much I grew for you

° .     *₊    ☆     .•°:.   *₊      ° . ° .•° .    ☆     *₊   ☆ °:.

Oh imaginary friend

It’s been so long

Since I cast you away

.✫*ﾟ･ﾟ｡.☆.*｡･ﾟ✫*..✫*ﾟ･✫*..・。.・゜°:.   *₊        ° .  

I tried so hard

To make everything right

So I could show you

That I grew up

.　 . • ☆    . ° .•     °:.     ° .   ☆*₊        ° .   ☆ °:. *₊    ° .

But all I did was let you down

I’m sorry my old friend

That I couldn’t help us out

°:.   *₊        ° .   ☆     　 °:.   *₊      ° . ° .•°:.   *₊        ° .

I just wanted something to be real so bad

That I tried too hard to make it on my own

And I was almost there

I had a friend

I think

But I couldn’t build their happiness for me

Oh imaginary friend

It’s been so long

since I cast you away

ﾟ｡.☆.*｡･ﾟ✫*..✫ .✫*ﾟ･ﾟ｡.☆.*｡･.✫*ﾟ･ﾟ｡.★.*｡･ﾟ✫*..

I’m sorry you’ve come back

To the mess I’ve left

But I couldn’t clean it up

I had no energy

When you showed up

°:.   *₊        ° .   ☆     　 °:.   *₊      ° . ° .•°:.   *₊        ° .

And I said I’m sorry my old friend

I’m sorry I messed everything up

I just wanted to prove that I could grow up

.✫*ﾟ･ﾟ｡.☆.*｡･ﾟ✫*..✫* °:.   *₊        ° .   ☆     　 °:.   *₊

But all you did

Was say I had

.✫*ﾟ･ﾟ｡.☆.*｡･ﾟ☆ *₊    ° .   *｡･. ﾟ✫*..・。.・゜ . •

And I said, no

No I couldn’t of grown up

How’s that possible when

I can’t get anything right

° .    *₊ .    ☆☆ .✫*ﾟ･ﾟ｡.☆.*｡･ ﾟ✫*. ✫*..✫*ﾟ･. ﾟ｡.★

You said everything will be alright

Don’t you the old days

When we would fight?

And you would cry?

.✫*ﾟ･ﾟ｡.☆.*｡･ﾟ✫*..✫*ﾟ･ﾟ｡.★.*｡✫*..・。.・゜°:.   *₊

I said I do

Yes I those days

°:.   °:.   *₊        ° .   ☆     　 °:.   *₊      ° . ° .• ° .   ☆°:.

He said it’s just like that

But you’re fighting yourself

.　 . • ☆    . ° .•   °:.   *₊   ° .☆ .✫*. ﾟ･ﾟ｡.☆.*｡･ﾟ✫*

And I said oh

Oh, What could I do now

.✫*ﾟ･ﾟ｡.☆.*｡･ﾟ✫*..✫*ﾟ･ﾟ｡.★.*｡･ﾟ°:.   *₊        ° °:.

He said we’ll fight back

Oh darling kid

I taught you how to fight

I taught you how to stand

I taught you so much

Now don’t you forget

I taught you how to laugh

And I taught you how to live

°:.   *₊        ° .   ☆     　 °:.   *₊        ° .   ☆     　 °:.   *₊  

So don’t go falling down

And saying we’ve died

Cause I know

That you know

That that’s just not right

° .            *₊    ☆            ° .    ☆     *₊   ☆ °:.   *₊        ° .

So darling kid

please stand back up

And go out there

And make me proud

And grow up

for me

°:.   *₊        ° .   ☆     　 °:.   *₊      ° . ° .•.　 . • ☆ . ° .•   

Cause darling kid

I’m right by your side

You’ll never grow out of me

So don’t think twice

°:.   *₊        ° .   ☆     　 °:.   *₊      ° . ° .•.　 . • ☆ . ° .•  

Cause even if you don’t feel me

I’m still right there

So don’t go looking back

And don’t forget

I’ll be right there

So don’t look back
