Forbidden Feelings

My heart, beating yet cracking at the same time.
This feeling melting and making me a blushing mess.
Why? How? What? So many questions, so little answers.

His rational mind, confused and bewildered by the emotions it feels.
Is this "love"? The feeling tingling sensation throughout my body.
This sudden unexplainable warmth in my chest.
The cause, known all too well but denied.

Denying the truth, denying his feelings.
scared of the consequences, scared of losing her.
These feelings, are a curse, a burden.
Weighing on him like a myriad of scars.
Reminding him of what's important.
If she's happy then so is he, no matter the pain he has to endured.

He loves her, but she doesn't him.
Like a mere mortal trying to reach a god.
No matter how hard he tries she'll never know how he feels.
His beautiful angel, out of reach of him, out of range.
