This space -
The confines of my mind
Wanting you so much
It hurts

My brain is a prison
These thoughts my punishment
You-
My crime
Love is blinding -

This horrible feeling
Of finally realizing
The one you love-
Loves someone else.

I guess you remind me of
something I've never had

I can justify the fleshly desires
But why -
Why are you still in my mind?

When I look into your eyes
I'm searching for myself
But all I see is my reflection

I could give you my heart
If you didn't have two already

You saw right through me
Past my prison walls
Beyond the milky haze of my skin
Yet you chose her -
Lucky her

You want my poetry to be about you?
Well here you go

If unhappiness were a song
I would be the melancholy ballad
The achingly bittersweet sound
Floating -
Drifting-
Falling.

Into this abyss of forlorn desire
For an affectionate touch
Just one mutual sentiment
