A Best Friend Poem by Robin Evan

I've never had a best friend
I grew up isolated and alone

no one to really talk to
not even on the phone

There is an emptiness deep inside
a void that is hallow and resounds

I'd like someone who'd understand me
at least while my heart still pounds

We could make our own Terabithia
running freely through the trees

building castles and adventures
and making chimes out of keys

we'd build that bridge together
so that rope would never break

and we'd always be together
I'd see you beside me when I wake

A simple request for a best friend
it's not such a simple goal

finding someone to fit with me
to fill my void and make me whole
