Paradise can be torture
When so far out of reach
Like drowning in the ocean
In sight is a beautiful beach

You ogle her like a goddess
Doesn't come as a surprise
You don't have the decency
To look me straight in the eyes

I suppose I am not accustomed to
Such strict segregation
Without one insult hurled my way
Feel a victim of degredation

Your courteous attitude a change
From relaxed behavior I'm used to
To anybody else seem polite as can be
Being treated like a stranger to me is new

The wound within bleeds more
Every time I'm grazed by the sound of your laughter
It's music to my ears
Taunted by the silence after

Leave no details to imagination
Emotions are shown loud and clear
In less than 45 minutes you've managed to remove
Any sliver of doubt still under skin here

But aching heart inside my chest
Beats for solely your name
Fractures worsening in presence
Yours not reacting the same

Because it bangs harder against my ribs
Whenever you come around
As if already wasn't broken enough
Battered more with each excited pound

Your happiness ruins hope
I am glad to see you smile
Devastating to accept the thought
You walking somebody else down the aisle

You said we would marry someday
That you would have already gotten down on one knee
Except wanted to get me the ring I deserved
Must love her a lot more than me

Were those years to you a waste?
Now you've found what you truly desire
Don't understand how you no longer feel a spark
Inside I contain a raging fire

I wish I saw what about her is more special
Than magic we created before
In front of my face is all I ever wanted
It's not mine anymore
