Love Shatters
I don't know exactly what it is
But she's been acting different
She seems…
Distant
Distracted
What could be so nerve-wracking
That she couldn't tell me?
I watched as she slept
By my side
So peacefully
But something is different
Her brow is furrowed
She seems to be bothered by something
…Or someone
I sighed a sigh or defeat
No use denying it
I know exactly what's wrong
It's him
My best friend
Or perhaps my worse enemy
I'm not quite sure which
And I'm not sure which is better
She doesn't know that I know
She doesn't know that I see
The way she looks at him
The way she comforts him
Her look of longing
The look of love
She loves him
It's hard to admit
But it's true
And he loves her
They think I don't catch on
But I have eyes
I see how their platonic exchanges-
A smile
A hug
A kiss on the cheek
-Seem to linger more than they should
They won't admit it
But it's there
Always has been
And, I fear
Always will be
Why did they have to fall in love?
Why do I have to love her?
