you are a constant reminder
of a reverberating pain
in those silent times
there were things I wanted to scream

and she is the admissible beauty
the envy of you and me
I felt your love for her
while you proclaimed your love for me

yet the words you spoke held no truth
and neither did the ones I spoke back
the lies fell out as easy
as the breaths I take

your love for her has grown
while we grow further apart
a change which makes me
feel more deeply than ever
