It hurts
and I know it's silly
just looking at you
it makes me sad
yet happy
secure in having you
in my life
for the rest of my life
a friend to talk to
who won't let me stay mad
always bringing my smile
from the dark depths
it is rather interesting
the bittersweet knowing
in combination with
a deep understanding
that I'm only waiting
for the woman you choose
to come on along
taking what little happiness
and leaving me with this
hollowing, harrowing
s a d n e s s
but hey
I should be positive about it
isn't that right?
that's what you always say
as you watch me break
as my dreams die in my arms
it's only for the rest of my life.
