After what I saw today I don't know if I'll ever love him the same.
Hearing his voice and feeling his touch grabbed at my soul almost making me whole, my thoughts tugged at my heart ripping me apart.
He keeps me sane yet drives me insane, I could complain for days but nothing would change.
Pain, something I prayed he wouldn't bring yet it wrapped around my finger like a fitted ring.
Tied in yet so separate, am I just desperate? Or his Love really felt like heaven?
Breathe, i tell myself, it's not bad enough to leave.
What is good enough to stay? If this isn't a game I want to play would my love seem fake?
I don't know if I can keep loving him... suppressing, ignoring, trying and trying only to be broken.
I knew I'd never be chosen, and when she receives the love I've wanted forever all I can do is stand frozen.
