Eventually I will
have to let you go

you are not ready
to take care of my
admirable heart,
you are not ready to
receive the love I am
capable of giving

I am sorry for giving
you my love without
your consent

I am sorry for loving
you to the point
where you looked
for someone else
to love,
you looked for
someone else to
share the love with

I am sorry for giving
you my admirable heart,
I should have
kept it to myself

"Don't worry,she's just a colleague and she has a husband"

Here I am
drowning in a
pool full of my
own tears,
witnessing you
in your birthday suit
next to a woman

the same woman
you told me
not to worry
about,in
your office

the same office
you work extra
hours in everyday

Here you are,
comforting another
man's wife,
looking at the
invisible clouds on
the roof,
laughing your
lungs out,
promising her the
world that you
still owe me

forgetting my existence,
feeding her ears
the words my
ears have been
starving to hear

sharing your soul
with her,the soul
you've always said
belongs to me

you're now sharing
it with someone else
while mine is still
waiting to be fed
by yours,

I guess it will wait forever
