Insinuating Poison.

I know you suffer.
I see the poison eating you
From deep inside.
Why can you not
See my bane?

She is your bittersweet poison.
The one who has the fire
Dancing in her hair.
The ocean waves
Tossing in her eyes.
I mean nothing in
The shadow of her affection.

I can see that she loves you
Yet she holds herself apart.
I wonder why.
She must know it is killing you.
I will believe that
She knows.
The cheerful angel,
A cruel manipulator.

I smile and laugh with
All of my friends.
My friends. And you.
How I wish you would leave.
Leave me to the
Bittersweet happiness of
His friendship
And my unreturned love.
Leave us all to our petty sorrows.
You are too good for this.
