Breathe.
Think back.
The words that broke you

"Who could you love"
"Her"
Breathe.
"Could you like me?"
"Maybe"

What you
find out later
Maybe=No

I'm hurt
Broken
Shattered

You kissed
Someone else
Not me

You say
You feel
Bad

Yeah right
I know
You love
Her

Please tell me
I don't understand
What did I do
So wrong to you
So that you took
Her hand

You took her hand
And held it tight
Never giving a thought
To those who might
Love you too

My eyes
I cry
My tears
I hide

All of it
For you
If you loved
Me too

Maybe I
Could stop

I'm sinking.
Burning, yet drowning.
You look

You can't see
The pain
The fire, the water

It's not
your fault
It's mine

For loving you
When I knew
It couldn't be

So I look at you
And I fall
In the fire
And the sea.

He glances.
I glance.
Our eyes meet.
For an instant,
I love something
It's bubbling through my blood
Dancing in my bones
Leaping through the sky.
Then he glances away.
I follow his gaze.
His warm eyes come to rest
On another girl.
I glance.
He does not.

Why am I always
Silver to her Gold
The mix, not the mold,
Second in your heart
