Poetry: Heartbreak

The Two of You

I may seem happy

But I’m not inside

My heart is wrenching

Tearing me up forever

Whenever I see you

I just want to run and hide

Its not fair to see you

With her instead of me

She didn’t even like you

Until I proclaimed my love

Then she decided to want to be with you

And you agreed

To see you together

Hugging each other

Its like a stab in the heart

And I cant take it any longer

It hurts so much

And it takes all I have not to cry

I try not to

But sometimes I can’t help it

I burst into tears, weeping

All I can think of is an image burned into my mind

You two hugging, holding each other close

Like there’s no tomorrow

Next thing you know

You’ll be saying “I love you”

I never could fathom how sore those words can be

Could’ve never imagined how much they’d sting me

It hurts to know that I’ll never have my chance

At being with you

Because there’s now a line

For people to get close with you

I might need to move on

I guess I’ll try

But I’ll never succeed

I love you too much.
