He walked in with a bounce in his step
Miniature trampolines strapped to his shoes
Unaware
Of the fact that
His presence hurt
Like an ant under a magnifying glass
On a really sunny summer day

And I try to ignore
The little knife
Digging into my heart
When I see you
Holding back tears
That only exist
Because of her

Honestly
I don’t understand
Why the hell you give a ****
Let them think whatever
They probably don’t even do
I’m sorry
But for most
There are things
More important
Than you

My feelings for you
Are a fickle illusion
At times clear as day
Beaming brightly
Stinging my eyes
Yet at other times
Translucent
Fading
Leaving only an echo
Of an illusion
That once shined so brightly
It hurt my eyes

It’s a secret
That I love you
It’s so secret
I didn’t tell you
I didn’t tell my friends
I didn’t even tell myself
I just thought you should know that...

Unlike a sliver of cake
That sliver of hope
Made me feel whole
Complete
But then
The realization hit
And that little sliver
Turned into
Numbness
Ironatmosphere Apr 2013
There are people
Without food
There are people
Without shelter
There are people
Without family or friends
And then there is me
Crying
Because I can’t
Have
You
